I'm not at all clear why India would care at all about MicroSoft's source code. It would seem that MS's offer to show it amounts to nothing more than a perk in the deal -- a bite of forbiden fruit.
India's hangups over making a deal with MS w/r/t their educational programs have much more to do with MS's rabid interest in dominating the hearts and minds of the next generation of computer users.
As such, India should be asking to see MS's internal business model, not their source code...

TIVO is not "News for Nerds"; it is "News for the Terminally Couch-Ridden". And TIVO certainly does not constitute "Stuff that Matters".
