The story did not die. recently it came up again.
It's time for Microsoft to open source Windows
So anytime now, on a slow week, somebody will bring it up again.
Wait and see. 
Maybe in September somebody will claim a new insight into this open pit.
A almost true rumor:

It's certainly not impossible. They open sourced .NET, after all.

Thing is- they haven't Open Sourced any of their actual products. When Visual Studio itself (Not the rebranded Atom editor they call Visual Studio Code) is Open Sourced I can see this becoming far more likely.
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
