I was also there, and I had a similar reaction to seeing the Wired article. (Sensationalist, whole article written on a 30-second exchange, click-bait, etc.) That said, here's how I remember it: 1. Metz: ... would Microsoft ever open source Windows? 2. Crowd: Cheers. Applause. People shouting "Do it!" 3. Russinovich: You never know, it's definitely possible. Crazy stuff happens. I found the middle part more interesting than anything else. It's a perilous road to be sure but I think Microsoft may underestimate how much good something like open sourcing Windows could do them. I believe all the talks were filmed. Hopefully the video gets posted.
