Microsoft has caved into pressure from the EU and has announced its intention to license chunks of code from Windows XP to other software developers. Here's the question on my mind, though: Who would want it? Who would seriously want to license the XP source code? I can just see the development team meetings...
LEAD: Ok, where should we begin?
PROGRAMMER: Let's start with something so impossibly buggy that we can't possibly fix it in a cost-effective manner!
LEAD: Good idea. Somebody call Microsoft.
