Good day! It's Show Time! Miketagz Again! Are you tired from Windows Operating System? But you want something new? Here's the new alternative freeware called ReactOS. ReactOS is a Windows clone and not a Linux distro with a Windows-like desktop shell and it does not run Linux apps.

@rheicel No difference, it was a free remake version. It is under alpha version so it may expect few bugs.

@RodrickH Okey its your decision, you don't need to reformat though. You can install while running on windows using Virtual Machine Software.

I got tired of Windows about three years ago and got a Mac. Now, Windows only bugs me the four hours I’m at work.
