Microsoft Going Open Source
![]() |
If you are a user of Windows Vista, as millions of PC owners are, you have the newest and most advanced version of Windows available. Over five years of development went into this software, which translates into millions of hours of effort by software professionals.
Has anyone ever thought if microsoft could go open source with their OS? If yes then do you think it can create a lot more buzz than Linux and other Open Source OS? I would post all the latest in microsoft OS Releases here. I am very keen to see Microsoft going Open Source.
I heard so many rumors about Windows Vista, so I thought about giving it a try. I started testing Vista during the beta testing but lost the flow due to other endeavors. During the testing phase I realized that it did not comply with all the third party products, especially the device drivers. I bought my new HP Pavilion dv6000t Notebook preloaded with Windows XP professional in sep 2005. I was unlucky in getting a free upgrade copy of Vista from HP as they only offered it to people who bought the machine after sep 2005. Recently I got lucky as one of my good friend sent me free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate version (The most wanted..).
