React OS is a whole operating system that's almost the same as the popular operating system "Microsoft Windows', which means that while using it , you won't even notice that you're using another operating system .
The reason why this system was never sued for copyright claims by Microsoft is that it's not popular + it's scripted from scratch, whoever scripted this, took a look on windows code and made his own code from scratch, that's why he can never be sued for copyright nor accused for stealing the script ( such a smart move ha ? ) .

PROS :
Free and open source
Supports all windows applications (Executables and DLL files too !)
Slow Machines friendly, no matter how old is your rig, it's ready to handle it, so it can be a really better alternative for your old dead laptop/PC

CONS :
not popular which means finding a solution of some issue that you will encounter almost doesn't exist, also you might find some incompatibility issues in some occasions

I never heard of it to be honest I know all the operating system and I tried them all from linux editions to windows but this one I didn't know it I will downlaod a virtuel box and see if it's really good as you said it's fun to discover those things

i heard about this rip off since a long time, but i never intended to use it because it's not that popular, but i never knew that it supports hardware drivers as well, i'm going to give it a try and leave my feedback here

 

[adventurer]

there is so much operators like that who didn't really make it ( succed ) for me I just love using windows or linux, because as you said if I use this operator and face a problem it will be the end haha

i didn't say you'll completely face a problem, but in case you're too curious about messing up with the settings, you won't get support as this operation system isn't used by that much of users

Since both are similar in visual aspect and inner working, I wonder if a virus that originally intended for Windows will also be able to infect this OS?

As long as both of the systems can run the apps that are based on the same code, i believe the same will apply for the viruses, but you still can use antiviruses as well

That was crisp and short ! ??
Is it from a startup which has many developers, or just a few people? And was any of the founders from any big companies like IBM, Microsoft etc?

I believe it belongs to some non-official company, IBM is too strong to do such a thing ( creating a system knock off )

And any ground reports regarding how this has worked, or any Technical How to documents, how much RAM, HDD is required etc?

You can find many info about the operating system on their website:

That would be a great help. I would go through this link.

it's a windows ripoff/knock-off, which means it's completely made to be behave and work like windows, it's coded from scratch by some backward engineers from windows code source
