- sanxiyn 5y agoI'd say .NET is pretty meaningful.
- derefr 5y agoYou can see the source code of Windows whenever you like. Pay for a Shared Source Initiative license and Microsoft will show you. Or just look at any of the old leaked versions. In neither case is there anything untoward going on in the codebase. Mostly what you’ll find is just integrated proprietary upstream-vendor source code that Microsoft licensed themselves for use in Windows, but does not have an unlimited right to redistribute in source-code form.

- tonyedgecombe 5y agoWhen it is in their commercial interest to do so. Which in the case of Windows and Office is probably never.
