A Microsoft official says it’s a possibility, as far-fetched as that might

Could Microsoft's open source advocacy ever result in the company offering
its cash cow Windows OS up to open source? It's possible, according to one
Microsoft official, though his comments Wednesday should perhaps be taken
with a grain of salt.

During a technology panel session in Silicon Valley, Microsoft's Mark
Russinovich, CTO for the company's Azure cloud platform, did what Microsoft
officials have been prone to doing in recent years: Preach Microsoft's
conversion from open source skeptic to proponent. Open source, Russinovich
said at the Chef Conf 2015 conference, was "no longer taboo" at the
commercial software giant, pointing to Microsoft's accommodations for open
source, such as having Linux account for roughly 20 percent of virtual
machines deployed on Azure.
The company also recently open-sourced its .Net CoreCLR, as opting for open
source can entice developers to use Microsoft technologies, Russinovich
explained. "For something like .Net, we believe that that is an enabling
technology that really can get people started on other Microsoft solutions."
Panel moderator Cade Metz, business editor at Wired, asked Russinovich if
Windows itself might eventually be made open source, which elicited loud
applause from the audience. "It's definitely possible," Russinovich
responded. "Like I said, it's a new Microsoft." The company is having every
conversation that could be imagined about what to do with its software and
services, he said.
Russinovich described Microsoft's open source epiphany as a learning
experience. "Microsoft didn't have a long tradition in open source, and so
this transformation is a lot of learning." The company has embraced open
source projects like Apache Hadoop, but there could be challenges to open
source at times, such as offering something via open source that comes with
a build system that requires "rocket scientists and three months to set up,"
he said.
The notion of Microsoft ever open-sourcing its commercially licensed Windows
OS has been broached before, to no avail. Of course, it's easy for a
company official to acknowledge the possibility during a technology
conference filled with developers who would love to see Microsoft go this
route. But actually doing it is likely another story. Surely, the company
would part with a considerable amount of licensing revenue, but it has other
ways of earning money besides selling Windows, including selling Azure
services. The company has even earned billions of dollars via patents used
in the rival Google Android mobile platform, published reports say.
While Microsoft has contributed more than 1,000 repositories worth of
software to open source code hub GitHub, including ASP.Net, it remains to be
seen whether the company ever actually takes the bold step of open-sourcing
Windows itself. |
