Agreed, if people start actively contributing to this codebase, it may fix defects in Windows 10.

  Conspiracy theory time: Microsoft intentionally leaked this code so they can gear up to fully open sourcing all of Windows and crowd sourcing its development and bug fixing. It makes sense, I don't think MS cares about Windows anymore in the azure/O365 era.

    It makes sense, they have very little to lose other than the glarimg issue that even with a non-free license it would inevitably end up being used to run Office on Linux via syscall or full emulation.

    Your theory would hold more water if they had released Windows 10 code.

      Maybe they're testing the waters? Perhaps there's a political problem with open-sourcing a current product that nearly every company has sunk a sizeable amount of revenue into? OPs hypothesis isn't totally outlandish.

        Yes it is totally outlandish. This was leaked, not open sourced. No one is going to seriously contribute to a project that can't be legally distributed.

        It's not even SP 3!
