Wow, now this is a really interesting idea. Campaign Microsoft to release Windows 7 as libre software, now that it reached its “end of life.” It doesn’t have to die… they can just shift the stewardship of it elsewhere.
It would be very interesting if this campaign did make it to full fruition, but chances are that it will go pretty much nowhere, unfortunately.
