How would you like the idea of open sourcing the Internet Explorer's/Spartan's engines, EdgeHTML and Chakra?
Think of the opportunities Microsoft had:
- improving their brand image
- getting support for a lot of persons without having to pay them a cent!
- receive love from the web dev community
- ...
The only negative aspects I see are of a security nature, especially as WinRT apps coded in HTML/JavaScript are rendered using the engines mentioned above. Hackers could easily identify security threats.
But I think even that problem could be solved: Win10 (and with it Spartan and EdgeHTML) are still in a Preview phase, so major security problems could be ironed out until RTM in Summer.
What do you think?
Seeing more negative aspects? Or positive ones?
