Whooter Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Not anymore. Back when I posted it, that was the only place reporting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camp Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 What's the impact of this leak? Does Microsoft still receive income from these older operating systems? Is it at all substantial? -or is it more because there are techniques in the code they wish to keep from the competition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Well the code that was leaked is apparently the base of Windows. I know they say that just Windows NT4 and Windows 2000 got leaked, but Windows 2000 and Windows XP share A LOT of code. The main threat is for businesses who will now have to face smarter and deeper virii, worms, and other nasties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
