React is 32bit (the critical part) AND emulates WinNT (the stable part)
-- so I think it's just not seeing the bugs, or not running into them.
React is still rough in spots but over the past couple years it's come a
long way -- main problem with the visible desktop is that the generic
video driver is laggy (might need to find a different card for it). But
otherwise the main visual glitches are gone, USB now works, and it's
probably on par with Win98, which is sufficient for the desktop itself
(if not for the underpinnings). I only wish it could do NTFS... FAT32
has limitations, and BFS (I think that was the other filesystem it uses)
is a steaming pile. It could at least try extN, which would be more
standard.
