I'm wondering about this anyway. While the exact code of CryptGenRandom isn't open source, MSDN has a quite extensive description how the random numbers are generated by CryptGenRandom, see the Remarks section in http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/seccrypto/security/cryptgenrandom.asp which also talks about the entropy sources used.
Being otherwise blissfully ignorant of things Windows, does this snippet from the URL above:
"With Microsoft CSPs, CryptGenRandom uses the same random number generator used by other security components."
imply that CryptGenRandom might be satisfied by code other than that from Microsoft described in the URL above?
