Exactly, the ReactOS project itself needs more funding, not sure if this helps.

At least it appears that the 2 people at the kickstarter project are part of the ReactOS team (http://www.reactos.org/wiki/People_of_ReactOS ) but the page at the kickstarter project appears to be written in a hurry. Wording like "Thorium core is an attempt to build" doesn't exactly garner a lot of trust in getting the work done.

I am not seeing the use case. Access to ReactOS from the cloud? Sorry, but that's very vague, they are going to copy remote desktop as well? It would help if ReactOS itself was stable already. It's a great piece of engineering. Amazing what they have done so far, but -at least during my limited testing- when playing with it in a virtual machine it never survived a stable session longer as a few hours. Bringing that to the cloud just means another layer of complexity and thus possible failure.

It is also not clear to me if the kickstarter project is actually connected to the ReactOS project and what the other contributors think about it. I would at least have expected a page at the ReactOS project about this if it was part of the rest. So far I have not seen a page on the ReactOS site about this and that would help for building trust in the kickstarter project.
