Exactly. MS would rather make 'open source' software in an effort to squeeze Oracle/Amazon/IBM our of the picture than to keep it proprietary and lose business. This is a power play, nothing more. Note Microsoft never say Free software or GNU as it would push the ethics, even when they

While that would be cool technology wise and to some degree security wise. But that would be yet another example of why the Linux kernel should have been moved over to GPLv3. On GPLv2 MS would still be able to ship it without allowing people to modify their local version.

MATE is better I think. It runs on old computers reasonably well and is as easy, if not easier than GNOME Shell. And more recent versions of MATE have GTK3 Support, and in future they plan to support Wayland. This is a good option I think.

For the live image, go with GNOME Shell; it works and is accessible; I just don't like all that overhead. If you can get speech and braille into the net install, as Debian has done, and offer all the desktops, with whatever accessibility they support, I think everyone's covered.
