Microsoft, as is well known, aims to support free software. Microsoft has officially ended support for Windows 7. Why not open the source code for the system?
The Free Software Foundation aims to gather 7,777 signatures for the petition "Upcycle Windows 7." The life of an old operating system doesn't necessarily have to end. Microsoft can demonstrate through its actions that the company truly respects its users and their freedom.
