I don't know if I'd publicly admit to viewing Microsoft's proprietary
code (tin_foil_hat=TRUE), but from what I understand it:

1) has already exploits released based on it 
2) contains a lot of bitching about the Alpha compilers [0] 
3) has a lot of "fixit" remarks
4) isn't the whole ball of wax

Also given from what I've heard, the code doesn't look too bad.
Perfectly readable proprietary code, sans external documentation.

[0] Not that Microsoft supports Alpha anymore, a real shame
