The developers explain that the main goal "is to provide an operating system which is binary compatible with Windows. This is not a Linux based system, and shares none of the unix architecture." Interesting, but the story gets better: "Written completely from scratch, aims to follow the Windows-NT architecture designed by Microsoft from the hardware level right through to the application level. One of the comments highlighted a FOSS project that could make it irrelevant whether or not Microsoft makes the code available, ReactOS, an operating system "based on the design of Windows XP/2003." I suggested that because XP and Office 2003 are still useful and relevant to so many people, Microsoft should do the right thing and release the source code to both as open source, and a lively discussion in the online article's comment section ensued.
