Microsoft was anti open source until the world changed. Windows was never open source or source available. It's ironic they own github. It is more shocking macOS is source available.

Nitpick: It's actual Open Source, not Source Available. Not the whole thing, but what code they release is under permissive open source licenses.

Sorry, mostly permissive licenses; there are a tiny number of copyleft things in there (famously, the last GPLv2 version of bash)
