Selling Microsoft as Open Source...
...is not a wise idea.

Quote:
A Connecticut man known on the Internet as "illwill" pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court on Monday to charges relating to the theft of the source code to Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating software, considered among the company's crown jewels.

He faces up to 10 years in prison.
