+ReactOS Version 0.3.x
+Updated Dec 16, 2006
+========================
+
+1. What is ReactOS?
+
+ ReactOS is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system
+that is compatible with Windows NT applications and drivers.
+
+ The ReactOS project, although currently focused on Windows XP/2003
+drivers compatibility, is always keeping an eye toward compatibility with
+older version of Windows NT family ( NT 4.0, 2000 (NT 5.0)) and new
+Windows NT releases (Vista, etc). Applications (Win32 API) compatibility
+focus is Windows XP.
+
+More information is available at http://www.reactos.org/.
