If talk of the alternatives being Linux and UNIX is leaving you on edge, consider ReactOS as your Windows alternative.

Originally launched in 1996 as a Windows 95 clone project, the official website states that "the ultimate goal of ReactOS is to allow you to remove Windows and install ReactOS without the end user noticing the change."

In short, the aim is that you should be able to continue using your PC as you did before. ReactOS features over 9 million lines of code and is open source.

However, ReactOS has been in the alpha stage for quite some time now. While some apps, such as Adobe Reader, will run on ReactOS, many won't. It's lightweight, though, requiring just 500MB of hard disk space and 96MB of RAM to run.

One day, ReactOS might be a perfect, free alternative to Windows, but until then, it is available for your evaluation. Install it from the boot CD or run the LiveCD on your existing operating system.

If you wish to install ReactOS on your machine, then Boot CD is the right option for you. Boot CD will direct you to a setup environment, please follow the instructions given on the screen. Live CD is useful if you don't plan to keep ReactOS on your computer for a longer period of time. It allows you to explore ReactOS in a temporary environment that will be reset in a restart. Please note, that ReactOS is still in alpha and gives no guarantee of stability, safety of your files or working at all. The downloaded file is a compressed archive in ZIP format, containing a single file named "ReactOS.iso". The ISO image contains everything needed to create the CD. 1. Extract the image file from the archive into a temporary directory. 2. Burn the ISO image to a CD-R or CD-RW using any software of your choice. When burning the ISO to disc, be sure it is written as an image file. Writing to the disc as another type of data will not work and render the Installation CD unbootable. Look for an option similar to "Burn from ISO" or "Write disk image".
