ReactOS has achieved a major milestone by adding write support for NTFS installation, clearing a long-standing barrier toward its beta release. The new NTFS driver closes a nearly decade-old gap, though it still lacks caching, journaling, and security support, meaning users should approach it cautiously.
Background
ReactOS is an open-source reimplementation of the Windows NT kernel, aiming for binary compatibility with Windows applications. It has been under development since 2000 but has yet to reach a stable beta release.
