Since Linux came along and started giving not only the right to view the Linux code, but the right to foreign governments to even resell it under a different name like China does when they rename and resell Red Hat Linux from the US as "Red Flag" over in China.
This was a response by Microsoft to the Linux giveaways, but only gave them peeks at it under special circumstances, sometimes even requiring a visit to Washington state to see certain portions of it. What we're seeing from the Linux crowd, is obviously a primitive attempt to divert attention away from the complete and total giveaway of Linux to the chicoms, by somehow trying to blame Microsoft for it all based on their comparatively tiny peeks instead. Ridiculous, obviously.
No, it's since Billy bent over for his fellow Chicom comrades. Linux has nothing to do with it. If it did, Billy would have just published his code under the GPL. Anything else really doesn't do anything to make Windows more competative with Linux.

Which is how it was designed, unlike Windows which was always proprietary. Noone is allowed access to Windows source code...except for Bill's Chinese comrades.

Liar. 97% of all of the Windows source code is not a "peek", it's a sell out.
Peddle your Redmond-based garbage elsewhere, spin-boy.
