Yes, MS is slowly open sourcing all of its software. They opened up all of their code base to all internal employees, so they are moving in that direction.

@iAmNaN but but but MicroShit evil! They close source! MicroShit bad reeeeeeee

How can I open source Hardware?

@Minion .. title is a bit misleading.. "hardware specification and Verilog source code for how it compresses data in its Azure cloud"

If I were *nix, I'd be looking over my shoulder. If MS goes fully open source, Linux/ Unix will be historical footnotes. Below shows market share of operating systems globally. Granted, different OS's are targeted at different hardware platforms, but still. Also, if we are generous and say that all of Unknown are Linux, it still comes in at last place.

I want Notepad to be opened up

@maushax the video chip has nonfree parts in it afaik. But mostly free hardware, yes

@p32929 I'm quite sure that one reason Windows is still close source is that if they open sourced it the code would be the spaghetti monster.
