Re: Status Meeting (November 2018)

It is common use to start beta from 0.5 because it is half way up to 1.0. 
bringing 0.5 as alpha willl cause much disappointment and is confusing for 
users.
I think an interesting point to talk about would be a roadmap. when can 
average users start to use reactos as their daily os? Is reactos able to 
become usable as windows-alternative before windows is gone and forgotten?
