Wonderful! :) I've been watching ReactOS for a while now...I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for it to get out of alpha, but if it ever does get to a really usable state it'd be an absolute godsend for me...

Uhh, neither Haiku nor ReactOS are Linux-based...

Based on the post he was replying to I assume it wasn't aimed at the AROS part of the post.

I would assume he was replying to this.  Could be wrong tho.

"This is most awesome. This is kind of why a lot of people had simply thought it'd be great to use the Linux Kernel as a base for new hobby Operating Systems, simply because it already has awesome hardware support. Fortunately Linux is Open Source, and almost all of it's drivers are as well, so that helps out the smaller guys a lot."
Quite. I'm not laboring under the illusion that a reimplementation of AOS3.1 is in any way Linux-based ;)
