One can argue that an OS is infrastructure, and not a product. Like water pipes and electrical wires, other services depend on them.
One could argue the same thing about Lorries and mobile phones... that doesn't automatically mean that MS should be forced to support a product, or release source code, when they don't want to. If the government takes a view that OS are 'infrastructure' and thus source must be released, support must continue for x years etc then it should apply to all providers and should only apply to products they release after that is decided.
