Microsoft is anti-FOSS so this won't matter. But what the hell.. I'll sign and be hopeful.

Essentially because some software hasn't been updated to work with new Windows kernels, I think Microsoft should just let the OS become open source. Those of us trying to play old games would really appreciate it

This could be of such immense value to so many people involved with source code on any level.

There's ReactOS, but this would be a nice gesture and more proof that the new MS isn't threatened by the idea of free software. And what a nice companion the source code would be for those reading Raymond Chen's The Old New Thing (I keep meaning to but now I'm in a Linux only job so not as motivated). I think neither ReactOS nor a free release of Windows 95 or 98 would compete with your business today. Rather it might develop more expertise in your technology among aspiring developers.
