I tried. I downloaded the VirtualBox package and imported it as a VM. Starts quickly, can see my hard drive (the VirtualBox one). However, plugging in my USB stick where QPC lives - does "something" because if the stick is connected to my XP VM that I'm running, I get an error (from VirtualBox). If the stick is not otherwise in use, nothing happens in ReactOS - it doesn't react actually! I can't see the device in explorer or anywhere. I tried setting up a shared folder and restarting the VM. Still unable to see it. So it seems that it can see it's own drive and a CD drive, but nothing else. I'm impressed though, the package manager is how Windows should be! But while I managed to install Firefox 3.6.13 I can't get it to install the flash player - it barfs with an Address Violation with a read of address 0. Dereferencing a NULL pointer perhaps? So progress from 1996 until now (same length of time that I've been married!) is not particularly good. Don't get me wrong, it is great so far, but it seems that if you try and do something too far outside the box, you will fail. I cannot get QPC to run simply because I can't find a way to get the system to recognise any option that I might have for installing it! Shame.
