I think the ideal situation would be for M$ to release the source code for windows (like THAT will ever happen) you could then go about plugging the holes yourself like you can with freeBSD. Iwas hoping that the anti trust case against M$ would force them to go "open source" but alas...NOT
1: if they released the "source code", because of the way they've acted about it the past few years, nobody would believe it and ask for "the real source code". I know I wouldn't believe 100% that it would be the source code for anything MS released.

2: yes, I fully believe that if they released Win95's source code (version A), it'd take about 6 months to strip the bugs out and cut the codebase down to probably 1/4 of what it started out. That's what Open Source is all about and yet these MS fscknuts don't realize that. We don't care about 'stealing' the code so much as we want it to be stable and do what it says it's supposed to do.

3: I think the source code for Windows is supposed to be released after the JFK assassination documents are supposed to be released (wasn't that supposed be in 2000?)...HAH, I'll just not wait.
