From the FSF and many other organizations. As well as a few more patches.
They must have been running it on the code that was leaked. Typical of Windows to bow under pressure, and finally snap with a dry cracking sound.
I guess now we see if bittorrent really holds up
who the hell would run a critical system with Microsoft rubbish ?
You overestimate the average IT customer. Whevever I hear someone say proudly that they have a big-ass server running Windows 2000 that controls things like parts of our insurance or finance industry, I cringe. I've also seen little camoflaged portable computers running Windows for the military (cringe again). You know, some people have even put Windows on a United States Navy ship (after Billy G. bought stock in the shipyard, I hear). We have all heard the story of it being towed back to port.
Vote in November. You won't regret it.
The bittorrent of the win2k source is located at this site:

Only people with fast upload are allowed on until it gets 10 seeds.
....and you would WANT Linux to be tainted with Windows code?

I don't think BMW has ever complained about their 2% marketshare. Neither has Apple.
Let's not forget the inevitable:
int PlayVideo( LPFARRANDOMMACRO *foo ) {
if( __USING_COMPETING_PRODUCT__ ) {
crash_system();
}
}

or maybe MS doesn't comment at all
I'm pretty sure that "backwards engineering" stuff is illegal now (for King George's subjects anyway), thanks to the Patriot act.
The Russians have won. They have made the world a cesspool of distrust, greed, fear and hate.
W2000 & NT were leaked but XP is still nice and safe and very (compared to the those two) secure. Bill Gates is a genius. Apple should do the same and make all those OS 9 users move their asses. ;)
Anyone?
I happen to know that Microsoft employees DO integrate open source into Microsofts products.
I happen to be at a place where I am constantly surrounded by Microsoft employees and overheard one of them say to another 'nah, don't waste your time coding all that... just grab it from the Linux source code. It'll save you some time'
Maybe now someone could verify that...
This is my sig. There are many like it but this one is mine.
You may wish to try this as well, it's an ed2k link to the actual source code:
.rar|262200841|dd523ba7cb9d0337919c8fc9dad21eff|
ed2k://|file|windows-source-code-leaked +compile-tools
On eDonkey, seems to be findable on Razorback and Byte Devils, at least.
OH THE SHAME I fell off the wagon and use sigs again!
Why should they be embarassed you idiot? If you leak the source code illegally, does it mean that Microsoft should be embarassed?
This sounds like a really good way to distribute a linux virus, now that every linux user out there is downloading and potentially compiling it.
sucks balls, and he is going to lose all his money and no one likes his face because he is a no good at buiness.
FUCK YOU
That's right cock lickers I have the NT Kernel source code and it looks like total shit. The lunix kernel is way better. Anyway good job lunix losers your kernel is better than a billion dollar company can produce.
This "leak" has certainly created a FUD-storm of epic proportions, in all senses of the word. US FUD - Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. Scottish FUD - (sl) literal meaning a vagina, usually used (in much the same way as the word dick) to refer to a foolish, vacant, disagreeable, and gullible person. The code, on first glance, seems to have been written by fuds. The resulting software has been bought by fuds. Now more rabid SlashFuds are seriously suggesting fixing MicroFuds problems for them (for free - the fuds!), and talking about "contamination" of people working on OSS. Let MicroFud fix their own problems, although if you fancy a laugh try posting some bogus vulnerabilities to an exploit site - send the microsoft monkeys and would-be hackers on a fruitless quest to find them! Software is mathematics, how can you patent 1+1=2? Anyone bright enough to make sense of this spaghetti code would have to be stupid enough to port it comments and all to their project in order for MS to have a case. I bet the MS legal fuds are reading the posts of the conspiracy fuds with interest, don't give them ideas!

If you ignore the 2393 comments before it anyway....

the 'flamebait' on this one was part of a mod-bomb.
My God, it's Full of Source!
