Is Windows FOSS now?

Couldn't help but read that title in the voice of the young John Connor, asking "Aren't they our friends now?"

Windows is not even source-available. Windows XP is source-unintentionally-available thanks to a leak but there's no AI loophole in that.

There's still copyrighted code in windows, so no this is bullshit.

Code contains a lot of elements that are not copyrightable (elementary maths etc), that does not prevent the overall program from being copyrighted.
