I wish Microsoft would officially release the source code for Windows 7 or even XP. I use Windows 7 now (with AV and common sense) and although slower it's a marked improvement from 10 in terms of customization and privacy. If Microsoft gave the open source community the tools to start improving Windows it would completely change the game.

I think Microsoft knows this and I think they don't want to make Windows open-source for fear that they could create their own competitor.
