If BMW don't have anything to hide, why don't they release all their blueprints?

How are they going to make money off Windows then? Retard

You can make money off of free software.

there is a group of people here who think you shouldn't have anything to hide, I wonder what's their answer

google.com/search?q=windows_2000_source_code.zip

that's already obsolete

You can't.

Enjoy your $20 per year.

It's well over various TB of size, and it's such a clusterfuck they don't bother to

They have a lot to hide, like their shitty work. Besides, a lot of people would be upset if you could remove bloat, telemetry and other shit, as well as using it as a reference for ReactOS and Wine.

There was 70-80% w2k sauce doing the rounds, nothing found in that altered the earths axis either. They need to show/provide source to some customers (Military/Chinks maybe) - fairly sure, more has been leaked since, or, if you REALLY wanted it..

>Microsoft releases Windows source code
>companies start building their own Windows distro
>no one wants to buy Windows licenses anymore
They would need to do a lot of fuckery if they wanted to open the source and still make money out of it. Shifting your whole business model to be like Google+Android is just not worth it.

Windows 2000 was the last good windows

>implying anyone buy windows license

ironically by adding all that "eXPerience" bullshit to XP they made it a lot less intuitive to use. 10 year old me figured out 98 and 2000 easily but XP was confusing and if I hadn't the experience from the previous 2 it would have been a nightmare. modern OS's are just so needlessly complicated, windows 10 times worse than XP more like.

>what are OEMs
>what are companies
>what are colleges, public shit, etc

You are paying for Windows right now, I'm sure the government buys tons of licenses that end up in your taxes.

Name a company other than Redhat

Google

Novell
Sun
Canonical
Google
Sun literally open sourced solaris because it was costing too much money to maintain.

hand over google's and youtube's source code

google and youtube aren't products though. Android and their users are googles 2 main products.

companies pay for windows, you paid for windows for schools/libraries/etc through taxes, if you ever bought a laptop or a prebuilt pc, you paid for windows unless you get one of the 1% of PCs that don't come with windows

You could take apart a car and measure every part to make your own but it's cheaper just to buy the car from a factory that is tooled to mass produce it and buys materials in massive amounts

?

It's the foundation of every modern version of Windows. If you ever wanted to make a fork of Windows that wasn't a piece of spaghetti horror-show like 10, this is what you'd use.

Nice meme reply weeb.
