This means that after the apocalypse people will be able to reclaim the Linux source code but not Windows. I find it poetic that open source may one day be the norm.
- xaedes 6y agoSince Microsoft aquired Github, I think they may also put some MS closed-source code in the vault. Seperate.
- userbinator 6y agoThere are copies of leaked Windows source code floating around... I've even seen it on GitHub but they probably get DMCA'd pretty quickly.
- jedieaston 6y agoI’m thinking that someone at Microsoft may have snuck the code for Windows into the archive after it was pulled from Github. Between Windows and OS X, a ton (most?) of the end user software would be unusable to a future generation in its original form since they didn’t have the desktop OS it was used on. Ironically, 500 years from now, they may think that the year of the Linux desktop was 2008 :-D
