Well you know how common wisdom says not to use version 1.0 of any
software?
This OS is apparently only up to 0.3.15.

>From the website
"ReactOS 0.3.15 is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not
feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing
purposes."

"The main goal of the ReactOSï¿½ project is to provide an operating system
which is binary compatible with Windows."

It's not a goal if you've already achieved it.

So, no, not as a serious replacement.
Might be fun to mess around with to see what they've accomplished so
far, but it's not going to be a replacement any time soon.
