i do have the sources of a entire OS on my HD and can compile it myselve ;-) (at least i could if i realy, realy wanted)
But i agree with you, that no-one (MS included i suppose ! ;-) ) can read the XP-Source and find anything. But i don't think this is the point - MS offers the sources (to a very limited set of persons) to blur the differences between opensource-software and Windows (and stuff) in the mind of most persons. this makes it harder to argue for linux.
i fear they will succeed with this strategy like they always did - MS-Marketing always has been better then MS-Software... :-(
