ReactOS is free and open source and is released under the GPL license so anyone can see the source code.

Open source only makes bugs shallow if lots of people are using the software and reviewing the code. OpenSSL is a great example of code that lots of people ended up using but not reviewing that had/has many issues.

I'm not saying anything negative about open source...I'm just saying that its more complex than just having code available.
