Source code to Win NT and Windows 2000 available

Posted by geeknews at 2:33 AM on February 13, 2004

Well it appears the cat is out of the bag and Microsoft probably about had a stroke as the worst possibly thing that could happen to a software company has happened the source code to Windows NT and Windows 2000 have been released on the Internet. I have yet to see many details about this but I bet computer programmers that get their hands on the source will be able to do some serious study of what makes a OS Tick. If the poor sap that stole it gets caught I can not even imagine the ramifications. [PC World]
