Opensource Win98 source tree

Posted by Balaji Sowmyanarayanan at 2007-05-09 10:58

Too bad I'm posting this after the event.
I think it will do a lot of good to Microsoft and the opensource community if Microsoft releases the entire windows98 source.

Within 18 months there will be a 'better win98' out of the community. And that will take care of the linux threat to some extent too.

What is ROI for MS?
In three years time, a robust version of 'win98' will be available with some of the trends of the time incorporated. This with some minor proprietory tweek can be plugged on to iPhone like devices that will be in vogue then.

Thanks Hugh of gapingvoid for the link.
