Even /they/ have developed various /types/ of Windows (Editions aside,
because they are just about disabling some features). Even /they/ have seen
the value of Bugzilla-type involvement by the users. Even /they/ realise
that opening some source is not a bad thing.
They have an inner conflict, but because of the FUD they have always spread,
they cannot admit it. It would lead to hypocrisy.
