Not everyone upgrades their hardware every time Intel releases a new CPU.

Using 8.1 as my primary, testing 10TP(9879) and liking it so far,
Favorite: When Win10 comes out that might just become my favorite but 8.1 still is very good, IMO.

It is still a very good OS for work and home use

This will be my favorite when it goes out of Alpha.

Quote:ReactOS® is a free open source operating system based on the best design principles found in the Windows NT® architecture (Windows versions such as Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Server 2012 are built on Windows NT architecture). Written completely from scratch, ReactOS is not a Linux based system, and shares none of the UNIX architecture.

The main goal of the ReactOS® project is to provide an operating system which is binary compatible with Windows. This will allow your Windows® applications and drivers to run as they would on your Windows system. Additionally, the look and feel of the Windows operating system is used, such that people accustomed to the familiar user interface of Windows® would find using ReactOS straightforward. The ultimate goal of ReactOS® is to allow you to use it as alternative to Windows® without the need to change software you are used to.

That's not the main issue about running a OS with no support, you should know what without asking me.

What if his hardware is not powerful enough to run Vista or 7? His only choice then is to use XP or install GNU/Linux. If he can't move to GNU/Linux then he is stuck with a unsupported operating system. Microshit didn't think this through. Fuck them for stopping XP support, its the only decent OS they've made.

What about security flaws.

Obviously that is the biggest problem with unsupported OS. What can he do if his machine can't run Vista and he simply doesn't want to use GNU/Linux?
