ReactOS, which is referred to sometimes as the Open source Windows, has received another major update. Following wider UEFI bootability, the OS has now got an upgraded installation setup GUI.
I’ve actually thought for a while now that a big software company should come out and say they support ReactOS for whatever their product is and advertise it like “Full, Oracle 23c DB support on ReactOS - but without the Microsoft tax.”
Yes, that’s not realistic between Oracle and MS, but it would be such a boon to ReactOS.
For companies that have a legacy product depending on the old OS, but unpatched vulnerabilities because said OS is EoL, maybe this may one day be an appealing option.

I can’t tell if you’re pitching this as an MSSQL alternative or if someone forced you to work with Oracle on Windows. Either way, you poor, poor soul.
When I worked for New York state they had a bunch of oracle on windows projects. It sucked. The prisoner transport system ran on MS access lol
This is just…Well, if you wrote a prison escape movie that involved accessing an Access DB to reroute a transport you would be laughed at.
Lol I’m more worried about the Oracle tax tbh
