The development team behind ReactOS, an open source project attempting to create a free computer operating system that's 100% compatible with Windows binaries, announced the release of ReactOS 0.4.5.

ReactOS 0.4.5 is a maintenance update that adds numerous changes and improvements over the previous point release. The kernel has been updated in this version to improve the FreeLoader and UEFI booting, as well as the Plug and Play modules, adding support for more computers to boot ReactOS without issues.

The Memory Manager and Common Cache areas of the kernel were improved as well in ReactOS, which no longer becomes unbootable when creating a system partition, and now avoids attempts to reinstall a driver during reboot when a previous attempt already failed.
