ReactOS platform system can be run mainly on Microsoft but one can also install it on other operating systems like Ubuntu or Mac OS. Installing it on other operating software takes time.
ReactOS was created on 1998-07-20.
The operating system is a platform itself. There are many sub-platforms, such as .NET in Windows, which includes WinForms, WPF and maybe more. A better question would be "What platform does .NET run on?" or "What platform does MFC run on?" Both of these questions are noobish, though, but they are better to understand.
ReactOS has few developers, which makes tracking down issues on real hardware much more difficult. For this reason, only virtual machines are targeted. ReactOS is not meant to be useful at this point in time, so it makes no difference on whether it runs on real hardware or not (which it actually usually does). A technically correct implementation is more important at this time than a functional one.
Can be run on any platform or operating system. Ex: Java
The Word "Platform" Means Operating System. It means where you want to compile and run your program.
Linux is an operating system, which means that it is typically considered to be the platform on which other programs run.
Windows XP, Vista and 7 Mac OS X It also can run under Wine(windows API translator) on systems like Linux, BSD, Solaris, etc. Also, Wine-based system ReactOS can probably run it. It is speculated that Valve will release a Linux version of it's games in the future.
The Operating System.
An operating system provide an interface between the user and hardware. operating system is a platform in which all the user applications can run
No video games do not work that way. They are software designed to run only in a certain platform and must be designed to run in that platform. Platforms that can play other systems games are the backward compatible ones that play early versions of that system but never perfectly
In the "Nikita" TV series, the operating system is not explicitly defined, but is projected that a simulated version of ReactOS (which is a open-source operating system influenced by Windows) was used instead.
Platform dependent requires the application to be run on specific hardware. independent will run on many kinds of hardware.
