Abuse the source, Luke.
iancom:
Just had to share, since it doesn't seem to have made it to these forums so far.

I haven't seen any independent proof of this yet, but apparently the Windows NT/2000 source code is now making its way around the Internet.
If the reports are true, and taking into account MS' security strategy of simply hoping no-one will notice the gaping holes in Windows because they can't get to the source, you can be damned sure that the next couple of months are going to be absolute hell for anyone who runs an MS system on the Internet.
Mass migration to Linux/BSD, anyone?
We can but dream.

www.neowin.net
They "broke the story" apparently.
Anyways.. \o/ !!!!!!!!! :D
iancom:
Yeah, I posted the windowsbeta link because the neowin site has been Slashdotted Up Beyond All Repair(TM).

Of course, it was Slashdot where I originally read about it, not being one for hanging around sleazy Windows sites...
Laukev7:
The source code seems to contain very interesting artifacts...

Plenty of gnumakefile entries throughout...
Also - directories for ppc / ppcmac / alpha / mips
Could this be OFFICE 2000 instead of Windows 2000?
