Why is windows closed source?
it's shared-source
Because it's a professional product.
>>55278110
But plenty of professional products are open source.

Linux
GIMP
LibreOffice
Thunderbird
Firefox
>>55278535
Rekkt
>>55278535
OMFG
>>55278535
Only two of those are used professionally.
>>55278814
Which ones?
>>55278814
>Linux
>LibreOffice
>Thunderbird
>Firefox
>>55278850
>implying gimp isn't used professionally
>>55278110
But it isn't. Proprietary software isn't "professional" it's unethical and harmful. Asking someone to install proprietary software such as windows is equivalent to punching them in the face.
>>55278857
>implying thunderbird is good
what is office?
>>55278857
I'm not dismissing the possibility, but I've never seen it outside the freetards-editing-images context.
Windows is open source if you work for the NSA or IDF.

>>55278873
go be neet somewhere else, faggit
>>55278880
Do you even know what thunderbird is?
>>55278897
I do. I acctually meant outlook and not the whole office suite, but that was obvious I guess
>>55278535
>GIMP

botnet
>>55278945
Everybody on /g/ shills GNU/linux and other open source OSes simply because they're open source. I highly doubt anybody on /g/ has read the GNU/linux source, much less understands it. (Although i'm aware linux is one of the most heavily audited software projects in existence)
>>55278908
No, not really. If some cumskin came up to me and said "Office is a replacement for thunderbird" or "Thunderbird is a replacement for office", I'd do my best to not laugh, but lets be honest...

>>55278885
That's shared-source and even some big customers university's have access.
>>55278971
Actually, I've read the entire thing, modified it to work on many embedded devices, and I'm currently creating my own fork of stallman's GNU compiler, just for the education behind it.

>expecting freetards to use logic
You have to say exactly what you mean, they're incapable of thought.
>>55279080
>still learning trig identities
I'm sure you have buddy
>>55279121
Lol, I'm not learning anything about trig, I have children.
>>55278535

Because microsoft's programmers would be very embarrassed if anyone saw their "work", and they would most certainly be devastated and out of a job because random hobos could improve on that trash
It's not exactly a top notch OS with algorithms worth keeping a secret, and the copy protection sucks, so why the fuck else?
>>55279103
>I'm a freetard for not knowing exactly what he meant
>>55278873
Install Windows, faggot.
So people don't steal the product, dummy. Also, so people don't realize how spaghetti the codebase is. Also also, >>55278095.
You can't hide your massive botnet and data-mining code in open source for long without it being discovered.
>>55279121
What does learning trig have to do with understanding and porting the GNU compiler? Im curious because Ive read it too and never took a trig class and I understood it completely.
>>55279261
This has to be part of the rationale. Didn't some articles appear last year by some Microsoft engineers who are unhappy that the kernel and user land is not improved under the hood. MS favors brand new fancy features over algorithmic or iops improvements.
>>55279349
Precalculus is really all you need to do basic algorithm runtime analysis in Big O notation. 2D graphing is sufficient for lots of coding problems.
>>55279386
There are still components in Windows which are size bound by 8bit variables and eight dot three naming conventions. That makes zero sense considering how far they are from DOS, but it's there.

>Why is windows closed source?
because they are fucking faggots
>>55279291
You're a freetard for being retarded. Outlook has been a part of the office for nearly 20 years now. It's not his fault you're discussing something that you don't even know anything about.
You can't sell something that is open source.
>>55281567
>>55278873
>unethical
Only for freetards.
>>55281287
I hope faggots are alright.
>>55279261
Actually the code is very nice.
>>55278085
because closed source is better than open source, proof me wrong, you cunt.
>>55278085
They have something to hide.
>>55278314
Not the other anon but
>Apache
>Audacity
>MySQL
>Netbeans
>Glassfish
Plus plenty of Linux Distros for server use, security and penetration testing and desktop environments
Come on, I know a lot of pro products are propriety, but plenty are open source.
>>55278535
nice collection of garbage
>>55278873
>installing software built with models i dont agree with is just as bad as assault
freetards, ladies and gentleman.
Wasnt the source leaked for 98 or something
>>55281567
What about pro help desk support?
or better and more "Professional" suites.
Also you can sell open source products as is and give contracts to others or have in house developers change whatever they wish to implement features they need.

Now your turn: name 5 pieces of decent software without anti-features that are not open source.
>>55281828
Adobe tools like Photoshop or Premiere
3DSMax
Catia
WinCC
Ableton
Come on that's too easy.

Most open source business models are junk compared to normal software development. Facebook and Snapchat are free, but aren't open source.

All of those have an anti-feature called DRM......
