Posting schedule

Sell the source code of Windows separately and at an additional price, and allow modifications and just not allow redistribution of the source. Desktop OS based on Google's Fuchsia, to either complement or supplement Windows 10. Linux distribution, perhaps called "Microsoft Enterprise Linux." Based on maybe Red Hat Enterprise Linux, at least for enterprise. Based on Debian/Ubuntu for desktop. Based on Arch for Internet of Things...
