Profanity, partner's name hidden in leaked Microsoft code: This is kind of funny.

It's not clear whether numerous profanities that are written into the code -- invisible to front-end users of the programs — were put there by Microsoft developers or those who got their hands on the files after them.

I was watching the 'cut n past' go buy the night the Code was leaked on irc.2600.net. Funny stuff. Down right hard core at times. They grep'ed the F word, BUG, BUGBUG, stupid, etc.... who knew what was in there.

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.

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?
