The ReactOS project recently initiated a Kickstarter campaignin the form of=
Thorium Core, a cloud desktop environment that allows one to have a consis=
tent computing environment with the same applications and settings anywhere=
one has a reliable broadband connection. To achieve this, Thorium intends =
to complete the work needed to bring ReactOS to a state where it is useable=
for day to day activities as well as tune it for usage in various virtual =
environments. Due to ReactOS' lightweight nature, a Thorium Core instance w=
ill have more resources to dedicate to the things that matter most to a use=
r, running their applications.

Of course, Thorium isn't about just a cloud desktop. It's very much about R=
eactOS itself. The project has gotten close, very close, to being ready for=
general use. Rough edges are being polished at a daily rate and in the pre=
paration for 0.4.0, the team has put significant effort into not just the s=
ystem's stability but also the user friendliness of a new explorer shell. W=
ith Thorium's success, the project can work on other issues that stand in t=
he way of ReactOS being ready for day to day use. So for ReactOS supporters=
, Thorium offers the chance to bring ReactOS out of alpha, into beta, and m=
aybe even into production. If you've been waiting years for ReactOS to be t=
o the point where you can replace your soon to be retired Windows XP instal=
l, then here's a chance to help the project make that final push to be read=
y.
