Microsoft has open-sourced major projects like VS Code, WSL, and PowerToys. With WSL now fully open-source, the community is buzzing. AI tools are integrating into Windows, open-source is the trend. Should Windows itself be open-sourced next?

@GithubProjects That's a tricky one 🤔

@GithubProjects What? The only reason they do it is because the real cash flow comes from endless subscription for consumers and Azure cost for enterprise anyway. Those are just funnels to make you go to Azure/Copilot faster

@GithubProjects I think VS code is open sourced long back, that is how cursor and windsurf are built, now they did for CoPilot

@GithubProjects Hyper-V Manager should be open sourced next: awakecoding.com/posts/decompil…

@GithubProjects Unthinkable 20 years ago. Damn good step forward

@GithubProjects It’s not like I would use it anyway, so idc

@GithubProjects That's highly doubtable.

@GithubProjects Right on, now more will come to find that they should ditch Windows for #Linux a more powerful OS with out the man in the middle approach, the third party interloper that is Micro$oft.

@GithubProjects Highly doubt they would open-source Windows but hear me out @msdev You can open source the NT Kernel y'know, pretty please

@GithubProjects It's just a way to execute EEE on Linux.

@GithubProjects make the windows os open source

@GithubProjects Absolutely, Windows should be open-sourced! I might use it outside of a VM if it were.

@GithubProjects It will be interesting to see how the world of operating systems reshapes, with AI's progress.

@GithubProjects they know they are losing, and now they're just trying to cling on to what little users are left @satyanadella

@GithubProjects Why not

@GithubProjects LICENSE KEYS 🤣

@GithubProjects I don’t trust windows

@GithubProjects Why subjugate GNU/Linux to the #proprietary #ecosystem?

@GithubProjects Open source isn't attractive business-wise, but its rapid advancement and perfection are worth the IP trade-off.

@GithubProjects make windows great again by making it open source

@GithubProjects 🤔🤔🤔

@GithubProjects If they did I bet react is would get some sort of boost with that info

@GithubProjects there is nothing to gain from windows being source available, wine is pretty good on it's own, maybe.... maybee, for some sys calls that solidworks and adobe needs.

@GithubProjects I really doubt about it : is open, everybody can see how bad is m$ coding and how windows is a big piece of crap.

@GithubProjects Make Windows Phone/Mobile open source.

@GithubProjects If they could just document and open the pico process so others can build shims like wsl1 on Windows would be a great step forward

@GithubProjects What would be the pros/cons of open sourcing Windows? Is it even likely?

@GithubProjects Windows should go in the bin and everyone move to Linux.

@GithubProjects They could open source some app like Taskbar Explorer Desktop The core of the os would remain property of Microsoft

@GithubProjects i will open a pull request on it deleting everything and name it "fix it by removing tbe bad part"
