While interesting, I suspect that Microsoft will attempt to wriggle out of 
this by claiming that the case deals with Windows 95 & 98. They will contend 
that other versions of Windows are not covered by this case (specifically 
2000 and XP). Or they will release just enough of the source code to prove 
their point and pull 95, 98, and ME from the market in retaliation claiming 
they can't keep selling them since the released information will be a help to 
malicious virus programmers everywhere. Result... corporate Windows users 
that had been running 9x are forced to upgrade to XP Professional (at 
$200-$300 a seat) or get a visit from the BSA for using expired licenses.

Staying cynical...
