You may recall from a few months back that the "open-source Windows" project ReactOS was going to be working on improving its GUI setup/installation. Progress is indeed being made there as shared in the latest ReactOS blog entry around further enhancing its GUI installer as an alternative to the text-mode setup.

Over the past few months there's been progress on the ReactOS GUI-mode setup as an alternative to its usual text-mode "USETUP" mode.

ReactOS developer Hbelusca has been working on enhancing the workflow for the graphical-based OS installer and making it all around more capable than before. The partition handling code is now working well in the GUI setup. A follow-up blog post will be looking more at other areas of enhanced GUI setup mode for this open-source project striving for API/ABI compatibility with Windows drivers and software.
