CaptainTux's Journal: Windows source code leaked?

Well, it seems like the source code to Windows 2000 and Windows NT might have been leaked to the Internet. I think it's incredibly interesting that this "leak" comes only a day after one of the worse security holes ever discovered was announced by Microsoft or maybe I'm just a paranoid freak. What could this mean for the future of Windows? A lot actually.

Having access to the source code of Windows -- even illegally as this would be -- allows ANYONE to create a patch for the OS when a new hole is discovered. This could actually spawn a whole new domestic software market that specifically targets creating patches for Windows NT and 2000. Personally, I'm going out looking for it now :-)
