Windows now partially open source ?

Wow... if that code got leaked.. the world of computing as we know it would get sh*t-stormed.

root-like exploits for windows... tee hee

hrmmm, interesting.... But still 95% is kept a secret so we don't have much to work with, if you could get your hands on it.
 
rANGER11, read carefully.

They are releasing 95% of code, not 5%. That is huge for MS. But I wonder what that 5% is.

But the company will now share 95 percent of its code with any developer that has 1500 Windows licenses and has also signed a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement. According to the company, that's about 1000 customers.

And yes Buddha Bart, I do indeed wonder what would happen if that code leaked. It would mean the end of the very reason they try to keep it close-sourced. Securtiy by obscurity? Nope!

There's about a 1/1000 chance that it won't get leaked. Believe me as soon as it's out there will be warez sites with this code within a week or two.
