What would be another example of Microsoft forking an OS program and slapping their name on it?

As far as I know MSFT started open sourcing some of their own tech just shy of a decade ago, but white labelling OS tech I haven't seen much, maybe WSL?

I'm not sure, but it's not what I said, so I'm not sure why you're asking me. What I said is that if you take out "vibe coded" from "Microsoft putting their name in total vibe coded slop that breaks every release and super bloated", you get something that they already do. I don't see anything about OS programs in that.
