I’m thinking that someone at Microsoft may have snuck the code for Windows into the archive after it was pulled from Github. Between Windows and OS X, a ton (most?) of the end user software would be unusable to a future generation in its original form since they didn’t have the desktop OS it was used on.

Ironically, 500 years from now, they may think that the year of the Linux desktop was 2008 :-D

https://github.com/reactos/reactos would probably make this less of an issue as well.
