Microsoft should just hand windows over to a non-profit, goverment or some different non-commercial entity. They aren't making any money from it, they don't care about copyright infringement either like here lithuanian feds went after some skiddies for being skiddies not for 'illegal activation of windows'.It's not even an open secret at this point, it's just a common fact everyone is aware of.https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hacker-arrested-for-kmsauto-malware-campaign-with-28-million-downloads/
>>107714636No, what they should do is making it open source, including old versions. First because people will work for free on it and do a waaaaaayyyyy better job than their fucking retarded "devs". Second because this way we will basically have a Win7 windows distribution compatible with new software and hardware.
>>107714870>Second because this way we will basically have a Win7 windows distribution compatible with new software and hardware.XP's source code has been out for years and virtually nothing of any real value/impact has come out of it.Hardware specifically requires driver source code, not system source code, and that's on the hardware manufacturers not Micropozz.
>>107714636They actually do, but only from professional/enterprise releases, plus its still important part of their ecosystem thanks to which they hold a tight grip over almost everyone who does something serious on their computer.>>107714870>and do it way betterhell no, they will not. Troonix is the best example of that.>>107714917OpenXP project aims to bring many improvements to XP and even bright it to CPU architectures other than x86.
>>107714917>>107714941Nobody wants to touch that shit because then you can't work on projects like wine anymore and it's illegal. People already tried with the leaked NT4 sources and got shut down by MS.
>>107715001Normie talk. Anybody can develop this anonymously, but nobody really cares enough to do it.
>>107715001I guess that people behind OpenXP are not scared pussy ass faggots like you then. They are still there and doing well. Kill yourself tranny demoralizer.https://theopenxp.org/
>>107715043Is it based on XP SP3 without security updates? The fuck do you wan to do with that?
>>107714917> XP's source code has been out for yearsAny serious collaboration will get shut down. Also, the leaked code was not in good condition. It would be much different if it was legally released, and a proper stable version rather than some broken mess.
>>107715076security is a meme if you are not retarded. Your computer is secure enough already thanks to NAT or CGNAT. The rest of your opsec is just all about not downloading malicious executables from the internet like an idiot. Entire "muh security" is just fear-mongering made up by linux trannies to groom people into transitioning to troonix and succumbing to their delusions.>>107715147OpenXP literally exists and is doing well, you demoralizing tranny faggot. You are a faggot, you are ugly, kill yourself.
>>107715189>Your computer is secure enough already thanks to NAT or CGNAT.>downloads infected image file>opens folder in explorer>thumbailer runs>pwned>connect untrusted device to your LAN>it pushed an uPNP exploit to the Xpxomputer>pwned
>>107715189>Mentions trannies every other sentenceThis user masturbates to trans porn and hates themselves for it. Sad.
>>107715240>shit that happens only in hormone-infested brain of a linux tranny>>107715291In case you haven't noticed, trannies hijacked linux community and are very hostile towards legacy windows community, as it keeps people away from being groomed and mutilated. This is not a conspiracy.
>>107715320I know it's true because you had to clarify that it wasn't a conspiracy!
>>107715320>>107715189>/pol/tard retard is also bad with technologylel
>>107715333contrary to popular belief, linux trannies know much less about technology that they think they know. Thats why they always brag about getting magic internet aids after connecting old software to the internet for example (unless they lie of course). You are not a tech-savvy person just because you can follow a random pajeet tutorial on how to use bash or configure your setup.
>>107715357You seem to have lots of experience with trannies
>>107715384are you stupid or just pretending? I literally explained the point and even showed you the evidence on the picture.>>107715387This
>>107715320>trannies boycott waylandumm... based?
>>107714941>They actually do, but only from professional/enterprise releasesThis is a myth that hasn't been factual for over ten years. Modern microsoft is a cloud computing company first and foremost
>>107714636>they arent making any money from itthey're making loads of money from it, more than ever. they just changed who the customer was
>>107715753>Revenue in More Personal Computing was $13.8 billion and increased 4%, with the following business highlightsThis is stagnation, a dead weigth in corporate world. No they do not in fact make any significant revenue with end-user products anymore
