Microsoft to open up Windows CE kernel source?
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft will make a surprise announcement at the Nov. 1 launch
| of Windows CE 6.0, according to the Web's rumor-mill. In what
| would be its most substantial nod to the open-source movement,
| Microsoft is rumored to be opening up CE 6.0's entire kernel
| as "shared source."

Betrayal of principles if this is true. Could the icon of binary blobs
acknowledge the fact that there is value in making the source code
available?
