    Why would sharing code with Windows 10 be a deal breaker for freeing Windows 7? I see the issue of security being raised, but that is just arguing for security through obscurity.

    Petitions should demand, urge, and call on. Activism is in a sad state if we do not feel like we can demand anything of a much larger organization.

    Microsoft has to start somewhere. It might as well be with Windows 7 while it is somewhat relevant. Windows 3.1, 95, 98, 2000, and XP would be historically interesting, but irrelevant.
