I heard about them wanting to leave operating system business and focus more in
Azure. It makes sense in two aspects: (1) more and more businesses (seems to)
are moving to using cloud services, and (2) hearing that Windows 10 will be the
last major release and just continuing to improve on it.

There is a rumor going around that there could be a possibility that Windows
could be open source, but I heard no official confirmation. It would seem to be
the case when they made .NET Core, MSBuild, ASP.NET Core, and Powershell Core
all open source. I guess there could be some truth to that, and one could say
that Microsoft could open up Windows, but again, I saw nothing official about
it.

I guess only time will tell.
