Windows would be not open source and not closed source according to them. I think most people would call it closed source however.

It’s obviously a spectrum, but (some) people think of different things when they hear “closed source” vs. “source available”. Also, a company like Microsoft providing source to big customers doesn’t make their products source available, at least not in the commonly understood way. Source available usually means the source is freely available for reading. That obviously does not apply to Windows.
