Has anybody tried running some old computer viruses on it?

Or what about those "tech support" calls you get, where they try and take over your Windows computer? It would be fun to follow their instructions in ReactOS, mainly out of curiosity (and to screw with them).

Seriously, next time you get a call from one of them, give them an excuse to ring you back later; then install Virtualbox, ReactOS, some mic and screen recording software, and wait.




A few people have done this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr220CbJTQc

It usually confuses them a lot.


This doesn't look like ReactOS was involved in any capacity other than its logo.


You'll find a lot of those on YouTube.
