ReactOS is a windows XP clone and the latest release has the framework in place to start towards running windows 10 software without actually needing windows 10. Best of all, it's not Microsoft.

I've never heard of it until now. Still in Alpha after 21 years?

Really? It's one of those things to actually pay attention to. I read somewhere that they have something like over 14,000 unit tests and they all pass. I tried it maybe 10 years ago and it was nice. Pretty much windows XP. I got a little nervous because of "How do you update this thing" at the time and I had only just heard of it and didn't want to rely on it as my primary OS.

I can't help but wonder if I should maybe drop some cash on a terrabyte SSD and swap drives to see how it runs now. Even if it doesn't pan out, I have a terrabyte SSD.
