If you could release the source code of any one proprietary piece of software, which software would you choose and why?
>>
>>56412069
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.

>>56412069
whats with these pictures all of a sudden.

>>56412129
why are you linking me something
>>
>>56412069
Presto, the in-house animation software that Disney and Pixar uses.

WinZip
>>
>>56412192
that's an answer?
>>
WinRAR.

THE archiver for Windows.
>>
>>56412216
Yes you fucking retard, that's the app everyone is using to turn pictures into weirder looking pictures.
>>
>>56412216
the pictures are made with link related, that's why they're a thing all of a sudden.
>>
>>56412100
>I never saw the Windows source code
I'm reading that
>>
>>56412227
why are getting mad?
>>
>>56412069
OS X Mavericks, the whole OS.
>>
>>56412265
why ? it's just a mix of darwin and freebsd which are both open source.
>>
>>56412100
the windows 2k sourcecode has been available for years, and yes, it's really awful
>>
>>56412302
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.

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.
>>
>>56412396
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
>>
>>56412424
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?
>>
>>56412370
not
>>
>>56412479
You are so new. And I can tell this is your post too. >>56412241
>>
>>56412462
i have FaceTime and Chess (or what other games do you mean) removed, literally no problems.
>>
>>56412069
Windows 10 because no one would use it after
>>
>>56412497
nope
>>
DirectX so Linux can have gaymes.
>>
>>56412069
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.
