Windows Open Source!

Post by CESS.tk »

I just read that Microsoft will give some of Windows source code (parts about security) to international governments. A lot of governments are switching to Linux (including Brasil, but that's because they don't have enough money to buy Microsoft licenses ::)) because they aren't sure they can trust Windows' security system. In order to stop this Microsoft has decided to give portions of the source code so it can be edited.
I'm sure the code will end up on the internet somewhere...

Yeah, but Windows isn't very secure...
I wonder if Bill Gates uses Linux :P

I always thought Microsoft and Open Source in the same sentence is self-contradicting.
