New developments make ReactOS more interesting, and I might like to test some MS-Windows hardware drivers. I could try to install ReactOS onto a USB stick but might wait until later for improvements in USB support. I must remember that ReactOS 0.3.15 iso burned to CD failed to boot on my computers. If I subsequently want to build application software for ReactOS, I suppose I could use Wine under Linux or FreeBSD. Regarding lack of support for GPT in ReactOS, OpenBSD also fails to support GPT.
