Now will everyone stop bitching about Windows not being open source?!
Are people deeply involved with OSS going to start fixing bugs in Win 2k? Might be fun and a dagger in MS's heart.
"We fix bugs in 24 to 40 hours, much faster than OSS."
Do I have to sign an NDA?
Seriously, this should be pretty interesting. I wonder how many bugs are ACTUALLY in the NT kernels...

Seriously, the previous article lambasting open source for being vulnerable is nothing when compared to eyes backed with malicious intent poring over Windows source code for new exploits. So much for security through ignorance.

The funny thing is the fortune that appeared in the appropriate slashbox when I first saw this article.

"Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for.
-- Unknown source"
...Windows 2000 and Windows NT source code has been leaked to the internet.
The Internet, however, being a polite sort of fellow and completely undesirous of the undoubtedly horrible ramifications of having such a beastie running around loose, gently replaced the source code and gave Windows a friendly pat on the head.

I never said I was smart, I just said I was smarter than you
I wonder how long till hackers go in and fix some of the bugs. That's the real danger to microsoft, if the bugs were fixed people wouldn't have to upgrade.
See previous article
You have commented all that Microsoft code already. Holy Crap that is fast.
ReactOS have announced they have hit all upcoming milestones and consider their project "feature complete".
I found the source code here.

... I might think Microsoft leaked it on purpose, so the OSS community would find the bugs, point them out publically, and even describe how to fix the problems.
Of course, I'm not the suspicious type ... :-)
JBreaking News:
A member of the Slashdot cult has admitted he has stolen the source code to Microsoft's Windows XP operating system. PickyH3D is the handle the low-karma hacker used when bragging of his accomplishment to the world. He has also issued a challenge to Microsoft's legal team with the statement that "there is no evidence". More on this as we hear it.
Or perhaps you meant /.ed?

Yeah... I can see it now.
"Microsoft is suing end-users of Linux due to the discovery that the latest version of the kernel incorporated Windows 2000 code. The discovery of the code theft was made after someone at Microsoft plugged a USB scanner into a system running the latest Linux kernel and received the Blue Screen of Death."

It would appear that two packages are circulating on the internet, one being the source code to Windows 2000, and the other being the source code to Windows NT

> I for one would love to peek around in this, more out of curiosity
Morbid curiosity perhaps. Considering the amount of backward compatibility in there, and the generations of tools and code frameworks used over the past decade and longer, I would expect the Windows code to be a BLOODY MESS. In fact it would probably be amusing to just grep for comments--"what does the next line do?!" or "what the h3ll were we thinking?!"
I'm a little curious as to why you seem so uncomfortable saying "Micro". Actually, scratch that. I don't want to know.

God, this latest karma-whoring technique on Slashdot consisting in posting "I thought I had read first!" or "I could have sworn it said " pisses me off to high heaven : if people can't find funny lines in the article to exploit in a witty post, they just make up their own, and moderators mod up funny for a reason that escapes me.

Didn't you read the last article, closed source software is much more secure than open source. You have nothing to fear.
The server is currently slashdotted, but I managed to download the first few lines of the Windows 2000 codebase. Here they are:

WINEHQ: Early today, a developer who wished to remain anonymous contribued an astonishing amount of source code to the WINE project. Some initial testing performed by WINE core developers revealed that WINE's compatibility with Microsoft Windows applications releasted for Windows NT and Windows 2000 had perfect compatibility, even down to some annoying and well-known bugs that have plagued certain Microsoft DLLs distributed with Microsoft's operating systems.
;)
"This will really make it possible for non-Windows users to run more applications than ever using WINE on alternate operating systems like Linux," said one develper we spoke with.
I would be the most poetically ironic event ever if it turns out that it was a MS Win security hole that allowed a hacker to enter a server and steal the code.
Doubly ironic if it was a hole that MS has known about for months and not bothered to patch.
Triply ironic if someone finds said hole, patches it, and ships patched source back to MS.

whoa, i totally read that as "MOD PARENT UP SUPER FUNNY"
If it's later demonstrated that you had access to the W2K source and contributed vaguely similar code (even by accident) to a project, it could have severe repercussions for that project.
I seriously doubt that having looked at that crappy code, anyone would want to duplicate it in even a vague way. At best it would provide an example of what not to do
I don't make a living as a programmer and I still won't touch this. I want to keep my programming options open and I don't want to consider myself even remotely tainted.
However, if someone should glance upon the evil known as win2k source, I hear that are some mystical perl monks who can cleanse your soul.

If its true (conspiracy theorists) that MS was behind the 50M cash investment into SCO a while back, then its possible MS is trying to provoke the playgournd wimp into picking a fight with the Big Blue bully for the sole purpose of being there first after getting his ass kicked. Its not out of the realm of possibility that the MS world domination plans include purchasing UNIX IP just to burn it in some pagan ritual.
Hrmph. I opened one of those files and all it said was:

This is an attempt to corrupt your ability to write reliable code. It is the software equivalent of a Medusa. Once you've looked at it your mind will be agog to make blue screens. Do not look! For the love of Pete, DO NOT LOOK!!!!!
Could this be a ploy to spur Win2k+3 updates? Blame the hackers for making win2k insecure. Oops you gotta upgrade now, sorry,
Not a very effective one, then. The key component - Windows Update - still fetches from the same place each time, and unless someone manages to fool that program into downloading from some other source, it's not a big problem.
The bigger issue here is the release of code that Microsoft may have licensed from third parties that they were not supposed to reveal, as well as the release of their own IP. I imagine someone's or some institution is going to be in a world of hurt if MS ever finds out who did it. Not terribly likely, but possible.
If it were me who did it, accidentally or on purpose, I'd be on a jet to some foreign country right now.
To celebrate the occasion of my 1000th post, I will post no more forever on Slashdot. Goodbye.

It's 5:15PM. I got home from work 2 hours ago, and had a nap. It is a beautiful day outside, and the Windows source code has been leaked.
And I have 5 Moderator points.
Today -- today, life is good.
It was a quiet nice evening couple years ago walking around Washington. Someone pointed me to an open door at the white house. 2 telephones sitting side by side. One direct to Moscow, the other direct to central nuclear command.
:-(
People were milling about in the room, I finally took the dive and made a couple of prank calls for pizza. Some other guys managed to get the US up to def con 4. I envied them because I managed to get only arrested.
It seemed real. Very real. Someone had broken into the potting shed, stuffed a key to the nuke room under a bush and escaped with it.
There was some small mention about it on the Drudge too but I couldn't find it right now. It seems the government was able to really sweep that one under the carpet. I wonder how.
There are people around with the phone number still, trust me. I envy them. I would gladly make the call to nuke France. Even though it would be a HUGE task.
So the now Brittany Spear's leaked cell number is mostly just boring and obsolete.

Microsoft is sooooo obviously trying to pull an SCO here.

Whoops! I looked. And now it's clear why Microsoft bought a license from SCO.
All these headers start with "Copyright, AT&T" and "Copyright, Regents of the University of California". I wonder what that's all about.

Funny how different two companies feel about source code. Apple has somewhat embraced the open source model, contributing to KHTML, and using many other open source projects. While Microsoft has shunned them all.
Sorry, no typo. I'm really bad at detecting sarcasm but I think I got your meaning.
There's so many more computers running than 2000/XP than 9x, why bother writing any kind of worm that targets 9x?
Is that true? Can you prove it?
For years after Windows 95 came out, there were more Windows 3.1 systems than there were Windows 95 systems. Why is this?
It's probably for the same reason that there are more dead people than live people.

The "Insert Quote Here" line is almost as predictable as inserting an actual quote.
We have identified over one million lines of our IP in Microsoft's source code. While I cannot share most of them because they are a trade secret, here are three of the most glaring examples:
#include
for( ; ; )
if(!stop) {
Many of these lines have been copied verbatim several thousand times. We do not want to, but are forced to sue Microsoft for unlicensed use of our intellectual property.
We will institute a licensing program called gplSource which will allow Windows users to obtain the legal rights to use our IP. This cost will be significantly discounted to early adopters.
Already at least three Fortune 500 companies have seen the validity of our claims and have paid these fees on a per-CPU basis to continue using Windows. While we cannot divulge their names, they do exist. Really!
