Getting free Operating system for your business is not a big job, one can try Open source. But before processing further please consider your business requirements. Something same is done before by Edataindia whose core business it to provide online data entry to his clients. In process I found the specific detail regarding free operating systems from http://www.freeos.com and choose React OS for the purpose. Although there were several other operating systems in the drop down list but React OS aims to be compatible with Microsoft(R) Windows(R) applications and drivers. Check out more details on http://www.freeos.com/projdetails/20/  

Here I want to share my experience with React OS. Chronological summary is listed below for your information

Downloading Source http://www.reactos.org/en/download.html I preferred React OS Live CD so that I can check the actual screenshot and functionality of OS. Downloaded ReactOS-0.3.8-REL-live Image of 31.6 MB in thirty minutes from the location as above listed in Point 1. The image was in Zipped or Archive  format After unzipping Image I received 114MB ReactOS-Live CD Image In ISO Format I burned the Image with the help of software. It takes few minutes and Live CD Was Prepared I Changed the Bios Settings to Boot from CD ROM First so that I can Check New OS •System Restarted and I watched ReactOS boot screen; after two blink it get stable on blank Screen and Pointer was blinking left most corner I waited for some time and after I ejected the CD Restarted the computer I thought It might happen that CD has not been burned properly so I prefer to burn another CD But the situation was Same as previous I assumed that it might happen that my hardware is not supporting so I prefer to check the Live Disk on my Friend System but the result was same I downloaded from Another Location: – http://sourceforge. net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6553&package_id=6629&release_id=658332 and decided to install in on my system as I crazy to see the functioning. Before I proceed in the article I want to reveal my system configuration I have Pentium 4 Processor with 2.4 GHz , RAM 512 MB, Hard Disk 40 GB I downloaded image and burned it in CD, it takes 40.2 MB of space in CD. Before installation I Formatted my HD with FAT 32 file system Inserted ReactOS 0.3.8 setup CD after changing the BOIS Setting As Desired Setup Booted form CD, It loaded some files in 2 seconds, Setup ask me to Choose Language. There were many languages for support. I preferred US English and Press Enter to Continue. After few initial steps, as taken in Window, Setup ask me format. And I press Enter Process started and setup started installing files on the system. About 56% of installation complete successfully but after that setup simultaneously stopped.. The filename called Shell 32.ini hanged my system. After waiting for a while I restarted the system to restart the setup. Again Setup started and it takes 3 to 4 minutes to complete. Setup asks to load boot loader on MBR. Other options were also available like to install boot loader on floppy disk. But I prefer to install it on the MBR and Remove bootable Media But I feel upset to see only Black screen. I don’t know what is problem, So I restarted the system.

React OS Show me Several Options Like
ReactOS
ReactOS (Debug)
ReactOS (Ros DBG)
ReactOS (Winldr)
ReactOS ( RAM Disk)

For trouble Shooting I press F8 as Shortcut Key I prefer ReactOS (Debug) process started with Enter after few loading File, its shows me problem as was in Live CD or Same as Point 8. Running with ReactOS (Ros DBG), ReactOS (Windlr) too provides same Results. Running With  ReactOS (RAM Disk) Shows me error of “Unable to locate System Partition” & “Failed to open system Drive”
