Just think of how much it would suck to go back to windows... If it goes open source, it might actually have some chance of being a decent OS. What then? Are we obligated by the same reasons to return to windows that we left it for *nix in the first place? MS sucks, whether they release their code or not. Granted, their code will get better if they release it-- but do we REALLY want that? It's only going to benefit MS and their evil empire... I say, screw em, ignore their ploys to [get their code improved by the community free of charge] improve their code free of charge.

This April fools shit is getting ridiculous. METALAB isn't going anywhere, LINUS isn't leaving the country, and there was NO RIOT outside MS.
