Did I miss the thread or has no one yet postulated that the Microsoft source code subset was leaked intentionally in order to afford M$ the free services of hundreds or thousands of security researchers auditing their code for them?
It is a known fact that Windows 2000 and XP are soon to be depreciated in favor of the next generation OS. W2K and WXP will be supported for another year or so afterwards. The new component probably will contain some of the current code set, so why not risk a couple of serious exploits (like M$ cares) in favor of getting your code certified by the community for free?
