With the talks of Microsoft halting official support for Windows XP,<br>
don&#39;t you think they should release XP code to the open source<br>
community?<br>
<br>
First, that will ensure that the legend that XP was lives on.<br>
<br>
Secondly, am willing to bet such an OS will knock off all other open<br>
source OSes off the charts.<br>
Microsoft have the No. 1 open source OS!<br>
