ReactOS hits major milestone with NTFS install support

Original: ReactOS reaches major milestone with NTFS install support

ReactOS, the open-source project rebuilding Windows NT-compatible operating system software, has reached a major milestone by gaining the ability to install directly onto NTFS-formatted partitions. Until now users had to rely on FAT-based filesystems during installation. The development means the free operating system is a step closer to behaving like real Windows, a point of interest for hobbyists and open-source enthusiasts discussing compatibility and long-term progress of the decades-long project.

Why now: The open-source Windows-compatible OS has long lacked native NTFS installation, so this long-awaited capability is drawing attention from tech enthusiasts.
