I feel that a can of worms is gonna open soon :P . Let's see how many patches M$ releases now.

If true, I think the monthly security bulletins may soon become daily security bulletins.

.....not like it's gonna help with anything

Oh that's just great!! Couldn't this have happened last month when I had a meeting with the execs about why we should go to Linux.

Too bad for MS though.

It would be hillarious if China leaked this. MS would probably buy that 4.5 million dollar aircraft carrier and invade china. Meanwhile I'd be at home laughing my head off

The real test now is to see what virus writers will do. Oh I bet this is going to be wonderfuly destructive. Good thing I'm using 98 and Linux. Otherwise everyone would be screwed.

now with this code leaked does that mean that only 2000 will be attacked or also xp?

ohh no, not good new for microsoft at all! Win XP home/pro are based of Win2000! Now that the source code is leaked..um... bad.
this leak might change microsoft's decision to become an Open Source OS lol, jk, that will not happen in a million years!

luckily using mac os 10.3, otherwise I would be worried! lol, but still have to use pc at school.

I think it depends if it really is win2k source code and if it is a newer or older package of the source code.
Maybe if it is an older disorganized package, coders will have a hard time with it.
If not, ... I think MS is going to have a really hard time!
