### AI overview

This article examines business-oriented use cases for ReactOS, including remote desktop thin clients, point-of-sale and industrial systems, and remotely hosted applications. It argues that these narrower scenarios may be more attainable than replacing Windows XP or serving as a general-purpose Windows successor.

### Source excerpt

Many people see ReactOS as a Windows XP successor, a way for them to avoid the changes Microsoft brought about in Windows 8. This is a somewhat idealized goal, as ReactOS would need to be much more complete before it could attempt to fill in that role. There are however other use cases for which ReactOS is much closer to being ready for. Many of these however are more business use cases than consumer use cases.
