If they were to make it GPL, then make changes... guess what... they have to release them.
Are you sure about that? Surely the restrictions of the GPL only apply to the licensee. Microsoft still owns the copyright on the code, and is free to make modifications and release them or not as it sees fit.
Try easyJet.
And yes, they fly from Gatwick not Heathrow. But Gatwick isn't really much harder or more expensive to get to.
And you need to book well in advance to get those prices.
And those prices don't include airport tax.
Of course, in London we're used to being jammed into a tube.
I can get a flight from London to Amsterdam for under ten pounds - excluding tax. I can fly to Barcelona or Athens for twelve pounds.
Air travel certainly has progressed in 30 years; it is far cheaper. Journey times are not any shorter, but who really cares. Airlines would buy faster planes and cut journey times if people were willing to pay for it but they prefer cheap flights.

You mean this game.
I'm pretty sure some kettles, particularly older ones, use identical power cables so it probably was around before the PC.
Well, I wasn't including parking in those prices, so if you drive to the airport you can probably multiply the price a couple of times.
Personally, I get the train there. Which probably doubles the price.
