If you could release the source code of any one proprietary piece of software, which software would you choose and why?

Probably Adobe Photoshop because it's the #1 excuse for not switching to GNU+Linux.

Windows

windows probably? I'm curious because it's notoriously bad and it would open it up to being forked and improved.

whats with these pictures all of a sudden.

why are you linking me something

Presto, the in-house animation software that Disney and Pixar uses.

>ask question
>get answer

WinZip

that's an answer?

WinRAR.

THE archiver for Windows.

Yes you fucking retard, that's the app everyone is using to turn pictures into weirder looking pictures.

the pictures are made with link related, that's why they're a thing all of a sudden.

>I never saw the Windows source code
I'm reading that

why are getting mad?

OS X Mavericks, the whole OS.

why ? it's just a mix of darwin and freebsd which are both open source.

the windows 2k sourcecode has been available for years, and yes, it's really awful

1. the gui part, quartz is an extremely good technology and Aqua is good in looks & ux
2. a lot of builtin apps are cool too
3. we could use the source code to run mach-object .app's on other platforms, and that will help a lot because a lot of proprietary programs have os x versions or are exclusive for it.

Magma

You must be new here.

IDA Pro.

>2. a lot of builtin apps are cool too

No, they are not. This would be one of the good reasons to get the source code, to remove the useless applications like stickies, calendar, games, facetime, etc that are a waste of resources.

you can do so already... just remove the .app, even thought a lot of people find use in stickie notes or builtin calendar for example

Not without fucking something up you can't. The operating system prevents you from deleting it and other methods may screw up the system. You didn't know you couldn't delete those stupid applications?

not

You are so new. And I can tell this is your post too.

i have FaceTime and Chess (or what other games do you mean) removed, literally no problems.

Windows 10 because no one would use it after

nope

DirectX so Linux can have gaymes.

This shit game from 2002 called Moonshot. I'm trying to learn reverse engineering by writing a keygen for it, but it's taken me so fucking long just to find the bit of code that generates the serial. I can't be bothered to decipher what the hell is going on.
