Yesterday news was that the giant company called Microsoft, the producer of Word, PowerPoint, Xbox and other softwares have a security leak. Their source code, the bread and butter of their software was leaked out. Most possible a inside job as usual.

A pissed off rich, very rich Bill Gates( is he crying?):


Possible product security leak on :


& other product:


where is the code? No one knows!

first its half life two then microsoft windows whats next?

i better get my hands on that source code and the half life one
(just thought of it i better not i dont want the cops knocking on my door)

better not, Bill will get you

I don't think it will affect microsoft too much. The sourcecode cannot really be used for anything, it is not even complete. At most, hackers in slashdot will make fun of microsoft programing style, but that's it.

Oh wow, I found it!!! It's here

I heard the source code that leaked is not complete. But seriously I don't feel sorry for a multi billion air losing some money.

yes, some parts of the source code was reported as leaked. Microsoft does have some control over the press.

That one was meant to be a joke. One fellow hacker who managed to get his hands on the code reports in slashdot:

WARNING: Windows source code contains swear words!

Edit: removed unnecessary quote..
funny

Actually Linux has about the same amount of swear words

Some quotes from Linux sourcecode (ver 2.4.22)

If you don't see why, please stay the f##k away from my code.
the kernel try to remap our BAR #1 and f##k up bus
Some BIOS's are f##ked and don't set all MTRRs the same! */

/* Binary compatibility is good American knowhow f##kin' up. */
/* F##king losing PROM has more mappings in the TLB, but
/* Why the f##k did they have to change this? */
/* ARGH! F##king brain damage. You don't want to know. */

Some hacker's name being mentioned, including Trovalds
* Wirzenius wrote this portably, Torvalds f##ked it up :-)
/* James M doesn't say f##k enough. */
Alexey is a f##king genius?

Not just comments, but there is actually a variable called release_f##k
DRM(release_f##k)(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp);

guess i should get my hands on the source code to see if they do have naughty words in it but where can i get my hands on it? plus if i do get it the cops might be knocking on my door the next day

its like in the simpson where bill gate come into homer house and trash everything
then leaves

I wonder if Bill knows who leaked it? The person who leaked it might still be there

What is a windows longhorn?

Windows longhorn is the next release of windows. It's not ready yet, but the beta version is already available.

windows longhorn

-chances of being open to virus attacks - 97.6%

-chances of being any differant in performance in any noticable way besides looks in comparison to previous windows versions- 2.3%

-chances of having a source code littered with profanity in the code comment lines -95.1%

-chance of having over 100 errors - 99.999999999%

-chances of any error messages displayed having anything usefull on them besides "you have an error , what do you mean "how do I fix it?" Mr gates has programed me to display "ERROR 675b " and nothing more" - 0.2%

-chances of linux still being superior in every way - 99%

-chances of being made fun of by hackers like every other windows version - 100%

-chance of multiple patches having to be created later in order to fix obvious mistakes-96.8%

LOL

Oh, we must see the trend ...

Windows 3.1 can be fitted into a floppy disk
Windowss 9x is about 600Mb if I remember correctly
Windows XP is 1.5 Gb
Windows Longhorn .... i think we all need new hard drive.

Windows 3.1 now is pretty much free
Windows 9x, you still have to pay, is it $30 ?
Windows XP ... $299
Windows Longhorn ... please transfer all money in your bank account to Mr. Gates

Anyway... I saw the screenshot of longhorn a while ago. Its taskbar is about 2 inches thick, everything was blue (including the BSOD I guess). Oh, it also has 4 virtual desktops which reminds me to something

you forgot to add in the fact that they all function pretty much the same , despite changes in how much space your hard drive is required .
