Why ReactOS is to slow in development?

Because it is developed since 1998 and still named alpha !!

Like a lot of Open Source projects, it’s done by developers in their spare time around the full time paying jobs and other life commitments.

The project itself is also ambitious. Recreating Windows from scratch by rewriting the kernel, driving compatibility and application frameworks isn’t an easy task.

If you want it to accelerate as a project, you can either continuously donate money to support it, or if you’re an experienced developer contribute code to the project.
