    Maybe we’ve been misunderstanding what Closed Source really is this whole time?

    It’s a codex holding back “eldritch cognitohazard” horrors that the technopriests of Microsoft have captured and tamed into an operating system. Releasing the source would release the beasts into our reality, much like the plot of John Carpenters In the Mouth of Madness.

    Well, figured out one good reason for closed source, I guess. Let’s not solve this LeMarchand’s Box.
