The ReactOS project recently initiated a Kickstarter campaignin the form of
Thorium Core, a cloud desktop environment that allows one to have a consistent
computing environment with the same applications and settings anywhere one has
a reliable broadband connection. To achieve this, Thorium intends to complete
the work needed to bring ReactOS to a state where it is useable for day to day
activities as well as tune it for usage in various virtual environments. Due to
ReactOS' lightweight nature, a Thorium Core instance will have more resources
to dedicate to the things that matter most to a user, running their
applications.
Of course, Thorium isn't about just a cloud desktop. It's very much about
ReactOS itself. The project has gotten close, very close, to being ready for
general use. Rough edges are being polished at a daily rate and in the
preparation for 0.4.0, the team has put significant effort into not just the
system's stability but also the user friendliness of a new explorer shell. With
Thorium's success, the project can work on other issues that stand in the way
of ReactOS being ready for day to day use. So for ReactOS supporters, Thorium
offers the chance to bring ReactOS out of alpha, into beta, and maybe even into
production. If you've been waiting years for ReactOS to be to the point where
you can replace your soon to be retired Windows XP install, then here's a
chance to help the project make that final push to be ready.
