Just think of it - a free OS. We're even gonna give you the source code. All except the kernel, that is.
Use with caution.

We only know of this because of its open source nature. Do you have any guesses as to the presence of any back doors in Windows? They'll only be guesses, because Microsoft sure isn't going to tell you. Remember "NSAKEY"?
