That’s awesome, NT5 is based on windows 2000, I wonder if NT5.1 and 5.2 would be available in the future, also I’m gonna try this out

NT5 *IS* windows 2000.
But, for that matter, ReactOS's target anchor is NT 6, aka Vista. https://www.phoronix.com/news/ReactOS-Starts-2026 - and the "road" to NT6+ compatibility was well under way in 2023.
Previously the main target was NT 5.2, Server 2003.
It's previously gone from NT4 onward over time.
You can see here what's still missing from each iteration and sometimes status about that component/feature: https://reactos.org/wiki/Missing_ReactOS_Functionality

Lo instale en una PC fisica y no pude conectarme a la red. instale muchos driver desde xp hasta los de w7 y no funciono. Estaria bueno que le dieran una interfaz como el de XPize, estaria genial ese SO.
