I disagree about this (stability/compatibility) being the point where it could trigger Microsoft.
First this is a bad marketing move for Microsoft while is taking years to scrap the image of bad and monopolistic player that wants to control everything.
So i think that the time they would at least consider to take legal action against React OS, would be when (in a possible reality) it start to gets popularity and big players started to ship things with it.
Giving it would be this third-party (lets say Dell or Lenovo) that would be sued for it, and giving all the dangers such a move would bring, its very unlikely that any CEO in its right would make this move.
So thats why i think is highly unlikely, giving ReactOS is so small, that it cant be considered a threat, except for a CEO's with conspiratory tendencies (A guy like Ballmer would probably do this stupid mistake).
