Neowin has learned of shocking and potentially devastating news. 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. At this time, it is hard to establish whether or not full code has leaked, and this will undoubtedly remain the situation until an attempt is made to compile them. Microsoft are currently unavailable for comment surrounding this leak so we have no official response from them at the time of writing.

From Microsoft Watch: It seems there may be something to the rumors that Microsoft's Windows 2000 source code have leaked to the Web. While it might not be all of the source code, there is something that looks and smells an awful lot like the real thing that has been available on pirate boards since earlier Thursday. Microsoft says it is investigating the matter.

MS Source Code Illegally Leaked

MS Source Code Illegally Leaked 02/13/2004 01:24 PM

Microsoft came out and admitted yesterday that portions of the source code for Windows NT and Windows 2000 had been made available on the Internet.

They're not sure just yet who is at fault — source code is made available to third-party vendors for development purposes, but those developers are sworn to secrecy, but somebody hosed the program. MS is not yet sure just how serious the breach is.

In an article on The Register, John Lettice comments that...

The impact of the leak is however massively more important for Microsoft than it is for the rest of the world, as it effectively blows the company's 'security via obscurity' approach to smithereens. Over the past year or so it has, with much pomp and ceremony, unveiled its shared source programme as a counter to open source, while in the same period it has repeatedly stressed that it cannot disclose some aspects of its code to rivals for security reasons. If they could see it, it would leak, and then evil terrorists would be able to break into Windows more easily. Microsoft, incidentally, currently has the shared source web site as a 'related link' on the leak statement page. Are you entirely sure about this relationship, dahlinks?

Columnist: Open Source the Leaked Code

Columnist: Open Source the Leaked Code 02/15/2004 10:31 AM

Why Microsoft Should Open Source the Leaked Source: From the "never-gonna-happen" department, this guy says that Microsoft should just open-source the code that was leaked last week. He makes a good case, but there's no chance Bill would actually go for it.

Why not make lemonade out of lemons by doing the unthinkable: Redistribute the complete NT4 and Windows 2000 code base via either a fully OSS-certified or quasi-open-source license on the MSDN web site?

Sound crazy? Maybe. But think about the positive implications of a fully Microsoft-sanctioned complete release of this code...

So What If Windows Code Has Been Leaked?

So What If Windows Code Has Been Leaked? 02/12/2004 10:22 PM
If you've been reading the various techie sites this afternoon, you've surely seen the rumors that source code from Windows NT and Windows 2000 have leaked onto the internet. Am I the only one who don't think this is that big of a deal? My only surprise is that it didn't happen sooner. As for the direct impact, if true, I imagine it would be small. People are still going to buy Windows. There already are illegal copies on the market, and the company is doing just fine. However, the indirect impact, could be a big deal. Ed Felten points out that, if anything, this has all the downsides of open source software, without the upsides. That is, anyone with bad intent can hunt through the code for vulnerabilities, but they no longer have the large community ready to fix up such vulnerabilities as soon as they're discovered.
