It would be so neat, shame MS is to much of a jew to ever do it. Even just releasing the source code while having their own proprietary version around like google would be great, but no. Gotta get that spyware nice and firm into everyone's comp.
>>
>>53911911
Precisely the reason to open source.

Let autists unfuck the kernel for free for "prestige."
>>
I bet it's still DOS code with a few small changes.
>>
>>53911947
Great, so now:
1) reverse engineering WinSxS/WOW64 is much easier
2) someone can just slip some "mistakes" in and no one will know until it's already been distributed

Why do they think this is a good idea? No one but Microsoft and a few rabid fanboys likes Microsoft.
>>
>MIT License
as if. They released the source for MS-DOS and it's under a shit license
>>
>>53911985
Doesn't WinSxS shit happen in userland, not kernel?
>>
>>53911985
>few rabid fanboys
You mean few million Indians
>>
>>53912022
Yeah, but some of the DLLs could interact with/reference kernel functions and variables, and who knows what the comments might tell us

>>53912034
whose tech knowledge and abilities include making/receiving phone calls and reading from a flow chart. They won't be helping with kernel development.
