I think a lot of people here are missing the point of this.

Microsoft didn't release the source code for these old versions of their software so people could use it, hack on it, and make new versions.

They released it because it's historically interesting.

As someone who is both a developer and a history graduate, I think it's fascinating.

The fact that this was released to the "Computer History Museum" was apparently missed or not understood by the majority of the audience.
