+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Microsoft have announced that Windows XP reaches its end of life
+2014-04-08, in 7 days.  But there are heaps of machines still running
+Windows XP, and depending on Windows XP to run their applications, and
+upgrading will be expensive, both when it comes to money and when it
+comes to the amount of effort needed to migrate from Windows XP to a
+new operating system.  Some obvious options (buy new a Windows
+machine, buy a MacOSX machine, install Linux on the existing machine)
+are already well known and covered elsewhere.  Most of them involve
+leaving the user applications installed on Windows XP behind and
+trying out replacements or updated versions. In this blog post I want
+to mention one strange bird that allow people to keep the hardware and
+the existing Windows XP applications and run them on a free software
+operating system that is Windows XP compatible.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reactos.org/&quot;&gt;ReactOS&lt;/a&gt; is a free software
+operating system (GNU GPL licensed) working on providing a operating
+system that is binary compatible with Windows, able to run windows
+programs directly and to use Windows drivers for hardware directly.
+The project goal is for Windows user to keep their existing machines,
+drivers and software, and gain the advantages from user a operating
+system without usage limitations caused by non-free licensing.  It is
+a Windows clone running directly on the hardware, so quite different
+from the approach taken by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.winehq.org/&quot;&gt;the Wine
+project&lt;/a&gt;, which make it possible to run Windows binaries on
+Linux.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The ReactOS project share code with the Wine project, so most
+shared libraries available on Windows are already implemented already.
+There is also a software manager like the one we are used to on Linux,
+allowing the user to install free software applications with a simple
+click directly from the Internet.  Check out the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reactos.org/screenshots&quot;&gt;screen shots on the
+project web site&lt;/a&gt; for an idea what it look like (it looks just like
+Windows before metro).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I do not use ReactOS myself, preferring Linux and Unix like
+operating systems.  I&#39;ve tested it, and it work fine in a virt-manager
+virtual machine.  The browser, minesweeper, notepad etc is working
+fine as far as I can tell.  Unfortunately, my main test application
+is the software included on a CD with the Lego Mindstorms NXT, which
+seem to install just fine from CD but fail to leave any binaries on
+the disk after the installation.  So no luck with that test software.
+No idea why, but hope someone else figure out and fix the problem.
+I&#39;ve tried the ReactOS Live ISO on a physical machine, and it seemed
+to work just fine.  If you like Windows and want to keep running your
+old Windows binaries, check it out by
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reactos.org/download&quot;&gt;downloading&lt;/a&gt; the
+installation CD, the live CD or the preinstalled virtual machine
+image.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Many years ago, I wrote a GPL licensed version of the netgroup and
-innetgr tools, because I needed them in
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;.  I called the project
-ng-utils, and it has served me well.  I placed the project under the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hungry.com/&quot;&gt;Hungry Programmer&lt;/a&gt; umbrella, and it was maintained in our CVS
-repository.  But many years ago, the CVS repository was dropped (lost,
-not migrated to new hardware, not sure), and the project have lacked a
-proper home since then.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Last summer, I had a look at the package and made a new release
-fixing a irritating crash bug, but was unable to store the changes in
-a proper source control system.  I applied for a project on
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://alioth.debian.org/&quot;&gt;Alioth&lt;/a&gt;, but did not have time
-to follow up on it.  Until today. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;After many hours of cleaning and migration, the ng-utils project
-now have a new home, and a git repository with the highlight of the
-history of the project.  I published all release tarballs and imported
-them into the git repository.  As the project is really stable and not
-expected to gain new features any time soon, I decided to make a new
-release and call it 1.0.  Visit the new project home on
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://alioth.debian.org/projects/ng-utils/&quot;&gt;https://alioth.debian.org/projects/ng-utils/&lt;/a&gt;
-if you want to check it out.  The new version is also uploaded into
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/ng-utils.html&quot;&gt;Debian Unstable&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
