The story behind the Windows code leak
By John Hogan, News Editor
![]()
Who's behind the leak of Microsoft's famed source code for the Windows operating system? We may never know. The suspects are too numerous to fit in an interrogation room, that's for sure.
With so many governments and corporations having access to the Windows crown jewels through the shared source initiative, it's a surprise that the source code hadn't hit the Internet sooner.
Late Thursday afternoon, SearchWin2000.com got a tip that chunks of the Windows code for both Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0 were racing through IT Web forums. One of the first sites to report the leak was Neowin.net, which barred its members from posting screen shots or code snippets, and instead urged those with credible information on the leak to pass it along to Microsoft.
Microsoft, which normally has a prickly relationship with the media, quickly gave SearchWin2000.com a statement saying it had heard about the reports and was investigating. A short time later, the software maker confirmed to The Associated Press that, indeed, a leak had occurred.
A number of industry analysts and users have already weighed in on the issue of what this code leak means for Microsoft and its customers.
