ReactOS is a free software operative system with a support database
that indicates which programs it can run.

 It can lists those programs in different ways, including, by vendor.

Here is Adobe:

And here is Microsoft:

If I understand you weird meaninig of promotion, then you'll find this
"a bad thing" too, right?
