High School Student Pitches ReactOS Project To Russian President
During a recent high school visit, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev received an unusual request from a local student. In what was probably the most ambitious pitch of his young life, Marat Karatov asked President Medvedev for 1 million euros (~$1.39 million) to fund the open-source ReactOS project after a brief presentation.Based on the Windows NT architecture, ReactOS aims to be a fully-functioning alternative to Microsoft's venerable line of PC operating systems. The project is currently in its early alpha stages, so it's nowhere near usable on a daily basis, but it's current form was enough to make Medvedev take notice.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/rdlm8sY-Qw0/
