I didn't see anything that said it was going to be Open Source? Did I miss something?

Hi Hans:

Question: What are you doing up at this time of night?  (I have an excuse; I'm retired and was just installing the latest version of Ubuntu. ;-)

Just think of the OSS Windows 8-9 as just another distro whose UI could be rebuilt or re-installed at whim.

Ironically, that might not be a bad idea for Microsoft. Unfortunately, though, Windows' biggest issues are not the underlying OS (the kernel). It is the user interface and the product development that is the issue.
