A German based company, with a depot near to where I live gave me 4 Panasonic Toughbook's to repair, well actually I had to clone the HDD of one machine to the others, sounds simple enough until I found cloning Windows 98 is a little different to cloning XP or Vista never the less I got the job done.
It was while I was researching how to clone a Win 98 HDD that I came across ReactOS.

So I downloaded it and ran it in VirtaulBox and I must say that I am quite impressed, Win XP but way faster with less hardware, only things that arnt working for is the network and USB, the network is a must as you can download software much like Linux.
Post your thoughts back here please.
