Microsoft going open-source...
Microsoft is all about MAKE LOADS OF $MONEY$...
Thus going OPEN SOURCE for them simply means they get a FRESH new ideas from all the OPEN-SOURCE people & then change a few things here & there and they now have a new LOOK-a-LIKE product that they can sell for $97.95

HOW DO I KNOW SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD BE TRUE??

Back in WINDOWS 3.1 days there was this program that I found that was FREEWARE and it was a SHELL that you could use instead of the WINDOWS 3.1 shell [system.sys file insert where you would have seen shell= [left blank loads default WINDOWS 3.1 shell]]
This freeware had a START BUTTON [on the top] and all the FAV DIRECTORIES [on the top] and PLACES [on the top] and you could have up to 8 windows open at any one time.
YOU could do FILE ASSOCIATIONS - example === file.zip when clicked would open the unarchiver UNZIP program. I would use that like it was the BIBLE...

Then comes WIN95..... DARN.... The shell was almost word & directory the same thing as the FREEWARE version BUT all the menus & START button were located at the bottom of the screen... [The bottom bar]. It was the exact thing but in REVERSE... AT THE BOTTOM instead of being at the top of the screen [the top bar]

THUS all MICROSOFT wants is to find the next greatest FREEWARE & edit it a little to make it into the MICROSOFT LINE OF WARES...
