ReactOS (FOSS "Windows") achieves 3D-accelerated Half-Life on real hardware
(www.phoronix.com)
FOSS reimplementations of proprietary software feel like possibly the most effective way to wrest back all that companies like Microsoft have taken from everybody. (And it serves as a pretty effective "fuck you" in the process.) So it always thrills me to see such projects reach major milestones like this.
They're unfortunately super labor-intensive. And progress on this one has been slow. But it's good to see they still happen.
