ReactOS is a FOSS operating system that attempts to not only look and feel like old school Windows but also be binary compatible allowing one to use Windows applications/drivers in a FOSS environment, albeit to a poor degree. Similar to Wine, the project is legal due to it being the product of reverse engineering with some code rewriting. It is known to have sour relationships with USBs. One is most likely better off using some other Linux distribution with Wine installed. You can also try to pirate a copy of the source code of various old Windows versions that have been leaked like XP or 2003 server and compile it yourself.
While the developers of the OS have good(?) intentions, the project has been going through a slow update cycle. It is highly recommended that one uses a virtual machine software to run this software, as there is minimal hardware support at the time of writing this.
