That could be argued for any software, really, but it's all about a matter of perspective and cost vs gain.Cacodemon345 wrote:There isn't a point in keeping Windows closed-source completely.
Like it or not, the Windows NT source is going to contain a lot of trade secrets that Microsoft does not want exposing to its competitors - the biggest ones being Apple and Google, right now.
And while what Graf's statements saying that Windows isn't really going to be the dominating force in Microsoft like it was in the 90's and 00's, - the fact is we just "aren't there yet" with these lavish future expectations that we think Microsoft should work towards or believe they actually are.
I think it's likely we'll get there - if I had to predict, we'll be seeing it sometime before 2040, but I can't predict exactly when (keep in mind even I could be wrong about this). But it's going to be a journey to get there and a whole generation will pass in that time - during which, no doubt, many new minds and new blood will have infused Microsoft who have different ideas about where the company should be headed.
