What system can the ReactOS platform be run on?
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.
Why don't ReactOS developers focus on getting their operating system to run on real hardware?
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.

What is the meaning of latest open source OS?
An OS is an operating system. Open source means that the source code is freely available for end users to improve or include in other projects, provided they agree to follow the licensing terms. The terms usually require that resulting projects also be open source as well and that the parent project has the right to also use some of their code if desired. As for latest, there is debate as to which one is the latest. There are certainly modern versions of Linux derivatives. ReactOS is an open source Windows clone. It certainly needs lots of work, but ReactOS runs well on some hardware and runs quite reliably under a virtual machine. It is still an alpha stage OS, as it has been for many years, but it is still active and slowly getting there.
What operating system does the orange box run on?

Are free operating system ISO images legal?
Yes. ISO images for free software operating systems like Linux, FreeBSD, ReactOS, or OpenSolaris are usually legal. However, on the off chance that it contains material that is not legally redistributable, such as unlicensed music or video, then that particular image would not be legal. In some areas, software like libdvdcss is also illegal, meaning if it is not legal in your country, then you should not download that ISO image.
