I've just tried to install it as a VirtualBox VM, and it kinda works! I had to select a different network adapter for the network to work, and the screensaver screen made the system unresponsive. But it's still impressive.

I totally love it that it has a 50/50 chance of getting stuck in the login screen like a Windows 98.




What did you do to get the network working specifically? I was hoping that adding the legacy network adapter would do it, but it prompted and subsequently failed to install an ethernet driver after I did.


Use PCnet-FAST III as mentioned in their wiki: https://www.reactos.org/wiki/VirtualBox


Update: I'm able to stabilize the booting process by changing the VM "pointing device" config from "USB tablet" to "PS/2 mouse".
