I have been considering creating a custom distro of ReactOS using ReactOS core files with a Windows xp should be that hard to do,if did you the reverse (winXP core files with ReactOS shell) then it wouldn't be Reactos anymore. Good points: Reactos is fairly complete,it runs a wide variety of apps,it supports windows XP themes,it has a great "app store" like app.īad points: it doesn't fully support Direct X,it only bundles a few basic drivers,it has poor USB and SATA support,getting audio to work is very patchy. Also isn't ReactOS somewhat based off XP so it can run Windows applications?īetaluva wrote:here is a video i made acting as a average computer user: I agree that it would probably significantly more secure to have a non-admin account. ReactOS does not receive those updates so a old exploit could be taken advantage of. I don't think that Windows its self is designed in a insecure way although part of Windows design allows it to receive updates to keep it secure and in modern Windows builds this security is expanded with a build in anti-virus. I haven't actually tried it myself, and I won't unless I feel at some point I have time to actually fix things in it, but it doesn't seem like a pointless project to me - if they can get it done, there are probably lots of people running unsupported XP now who'd probably prefer to use something supported. I would have thought that it's more about the implementation than the fact that it's based on the design of Windows. Since this is not supported by Microsoft there is not guarantee it is going to be safe.Īre you saying there is something inherently insecure about the design of Windows? I would think that so long as ReactOS lets you run as a non-Administrator user, that would be a good start. Being based off Windows it seems that it is able to be exposed to the same threats as a Windows XP machine.
