There was a rumour that Microsoft lost the source code to Visual Source Safe. 
Oh the irony. I know our admin claimed it corrupted itself many times.

Source code getting lost, I'd buy that.

Besides being a huge witch hunt for code proprietors and a hassle to convince 
them to relicense, it also involves digging out source code that might not 
exist anymore. This happens.

One would want to get the source code and then open source it of
course.  Even Windows 3.1 and Windows 3.11 is closed source.  Surely,
Microsoft could release pre 9x Windows?  It wouldn't hurt Microsoft at
all since Windows
is squarely NT based now where many modern systems won't even support
DOS let alone DOS based Windows.  I realize it would probably be very
expensive to get Microsoft to cough up the source code, but has anyone
even looked into this?
