The reverse happened. MS learned from EA. The source for the first simcity was released in 2008, back when MS was still calling GPL and Linux cancer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SimCity_(1989_video_game)#Micr...

Can't wait for MS to learn from EA and open source Windows 95.

Microsoft did open source 1983's DOS: https://github.com/Microsoft/MS-DOS

Given they've only made it to DOS 2.0 so far, it might take them a while to open source Windows 95, but it no longer seems like an impossibility either.
