ReactOS
ReactOS is a open-source operating system meant to behave like Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
In theory, it can run any software and work with any drivers developped for those closed-source operating systems. In practice, it is still under heavy-development and may not work as expected.
Installation
ReactOS is currently in Alpha stage and does not work with most virtio-devices. {.is-warning}
