"Big boobs" could actually be something not-sexist. "Boob" also means "dork" or "moron." Given Microsoft's view on Linux, and the fact that Linux has gotten more popular these last few years, Microsoft programmers typing "big boobs" into Linux kernel support code could mean that they acknowledge the rise in popularity but still think it's rubbish.
Then they go ahead and type "boobies" and ruin my theory. Ah well. Nice to have yet another thing to pin on Microsoft, I suppose.
