will microsoft windows become open source..?

Why should you open a closed source when better Open source OSs like Ubuntu, Fedora and Redhat are available. Also, at the time it goes open source you will not even look at it because of highly advantageous OSs would have come. A doubt for me. Have you seen the very first DOS gone open source? I don't believe so.

Windows XP is already becoming an open source just in case if you dont know but about the other microsof operative systems i really dont know because its one of the biggest companies in the world and that means alot like respect and more client. If someday microsoft operative systems become an open source im pretty sure the company will not be the same as now a days. Thanks for reading and commenting :)

Sorry, but I agree, it's a stupid question. It's simple, Micro$oft policy is making crappy software, market it and sell as if it's actually good. The key here is SELL, the whole company is a focused on making money only, not quality programs, not user satisfaction. Why they would do something that not only discloses their secrets, but also doesn't give them money? They haven't released open sources versions of none of their programs, not even Windows 3, all them remain being paid versions up to this day and counting. And also think, when making a new version, of course not all of the code is writen from scratch, but many parts I guess would have been reused. So say you have the source of Windows 3, parts of it may even be present in Windows 7, and that is not only a problem, but an open invitation to hackers who are patient enough to search through the old code, finding flaws that may be present until now.

No.100% sure it will not come to open source.

Are u kidding man . .. how can it be ... ?, microsoft is a big monopoli product company . . .! so this company never give u FREE . . !
