I think thats fake, but if it is true...im laughing

Edit: Hey I guess it is real...or maybe its a scam by Microsoft for everyone to have to go out and get "security" software

Update: Microsoft's Tom Pilla has confirmed the leak stating: "Today we became aware that incomplete portions of Windows 2000 and NT 4.0 source code was illegally made available on the Internet"

Heh. Looks like WINE may be getting a bit better soon

People keep saying this is the 'downfall of MS' Yeah.. right. More like the best time to buy stock I'd like to. Maybe it'll prompt a whole bunch of patches a whole lot sooner. MS is probably going to have to redo the way they store passwords, and change a few other things.. as those can all be reversed with this. Overall, I'm not worried. I'm nicely secured behind a NAT'ing router and I update/patch regularly. I wonder if MS 'borrowed' any code from things. Maybe Windows will be better because of this I believe all of the Windows API is in it.. so maybe programs can be optimized a bit more.

NO!!!!!

Anybody involved in any form of main-stream open source project won't be touching this code with a 100-ft pole. Just think what would happen if MS found out that some of their code (or code based on their code) ended up in an OS project--it would be SCO all over again, except this time they'd be right!

That said, it's still soooo tempting to just poke around in it for a while to see how a multi-million line, multi-million dollar program is constructed...
