What if the code were opened??? Then what? That wouldnt mean that Microsoft gets any less popular. It could very well be the *BEST* thing ever to happen in Redmond. It would mean that they would ride the wave of the Open Source Movement. Forget the money, lies, and ridicule. Mabey this is Microsofts' only chance of getting their code out to the public, because in order to do so manually would require many years of settlements and company shifts (since they even sell it).
As we can see, this decision will not halt Micor$oft's decision to make reaction grave for anyone anyhow. Never forget that they have tremendous power to thwart whatever ridicule which may arise in the weeks ahead. Without a doubt will we see some of Microsoft's most furiuous and feverish acts becoming relevant to our waking lives. This is not becaue they have any gobbs (or some indecent amount thereof) of cash, but rather the absolute power that they have established and even _today_ holster over the minds of many civilians (people with the **REAL** power).
That became relevant to me the other day after having talked to many subjects who casually come into my electronic/computer/software store in Boston, MA. It seems as if people absolutely adhore the idea that Microsoft "is way ahead of the rest of the industry", but they werent aware of the facts that tell the tale of a "successful" business. It seems almost likely that Microsoft will just come off bearing the "I'm too good for my own good" seal.
It would truley become(and always has been) the duty of the more enlightened community (ala Linux/Unix) to reveal where the road which lays beneath the [masses] ideally leads.\
"all that, and Microsoft couldn't put a dash of style into it's software!"
