ReactOS team released ReactOS 0.4.12 , take a look at the highlights noteworthy update:
Kernel improvements
The file system driver requires a lot of support to run correctly, and it can be said, Microsoft does not test method FS infrastructure ReactOS own FS drive better than running. Although the project has not been completed, but the new version towards this goal a big step forward.
ReactOS developers Pierre Schweitzer and Thomas Faber particular attention a public cached, it has deep ties with the memory manager module, and is a very troublesome components from the traditional terms. Thanks to their contributions, as well as HermèsBélusca-Maïto ReactOS contribution in restoration of CDFS driver side, the overall stability of the core has been significantly improved.
In addition, device power management has been improved in the new version. ReactOS support for PXE boot has also been repaired, the need for centralized management of enterprise systems or industrial environments, the more ReactOS provides networking capabilities, you can find more uses.
Kernel image has been fixed protection
Security is a basic requirement for modern operating systems, and the ability to protect its own operating system file is the basis for their security. For this reason, most operating systems will have a locking feature to prevent any random image edit application running in kernel space and loaded and executed, such as the kernel itself (NTOSKRNL), the various functional subsystems (Win32k), of course, general device drivers.
She had been subjected to all kinds of wrong stop before ReactOS, can not do this properly. However, write-protection feature has been rewritten in 0.4.12, which can be used normally, and also added new features such as the implementation of protection and the like, just wait x64 is fully enabled.
Capture window
The new version of window capture function is operating properly.
Improved font
People often do not notice little details such as font rendering. But when problems arise, it will make the entire application suite is not available. ReactOS is committed to making more robust and correct font rendering, a marked improvement compared to the previous 0.4.12 version.
The new version will fix a series of problems that severely damaged the presentation from iTunes .NET applications to a variety of text and a series of application buttons, as shown below:
Intel e1000 NIC driver
Despite ReactOS in a virtual machine traditional use can generally be from the effects of large-scale hardware configuration changes, but over the years, even if the virtual machine simulation system has gone through some evolution. For example, VirtualBox and VMware have been in default of its analog network interface card is transferred to the foundation based on the Intel e1000 NIC, in order to provide an interface with a Gigabit functionality.
ReactOS now has a ready-made drivers for the NIC support, without requiring the user to manually find and install. In addition, the new driver should also be compatible with real hardware e1000 NIC, although of course the actual need more testing to fully verify the assertion.
New Topic
0.4.12 version brings two new themes, the first being created by the Lunar JoannMõndresku and AdamSłaboń, its design reminiscent of XP look and feel, while ReactOS style coloring. The second is Foxlet of Mizu, it seeks to provide a flatter design, which draws on the new Windows versions more modern design.

ReactOS is a Windows NT-based architecture design principles of the open source operating system. All of the code have been rewritten, ReactOS is not based on Linux, and does not contain any UNIX architecture.
ReactOS 项目的主要目标就是提供一个与 Windows 环境二进制兼容的操作系统。它能让您的 Windows 应用程序和驱动程序如同在 Windows 上一样运行。此外，由于应用了 Windows 操作系统的外观特性，已经熟悉 Windows 用户界面的用户在使用 ReactOS 时将驾轻就熟。ReactOS 的终极目标是使您能够在感觉不到最终用户体验变化的前提下，使用 ReactOS 来替代 Windows。
