When the Windows source code is open and freely available, sure ;)

A peek at the DragonFly Virtual Kernel (part 2)

My point is, LWN now claims to be about the whole free software community.
In that case no justification should be necessary for this article. If on
the other hand, it is "useful to see how others do things", we can equally
learn from closed-source systems.

True, no justification should be neccesary but some people apparently thought it was outside the scope of lwn.net.

In regards to closed source systems, the fact that the source (among other things) isn't available makes that quite a bit more difficult.
