Windows NT 4.0 and Win2k source code leaked

It's true... Neowin.net reported it first last night but since then, there have been a number of stories and Windows.Source.Code.w2k.nt4.wxp.tar making the rounds of the Internet. This link is a rundown of all stories indexed by Google News, but here's the cream of the crop:

- Windows code up for Grabs: ZdNet
- Windows Code for the Taking: Wired
- Windows Source Code Leaks Online: Wired

To sift some information out of the stockpile that's out there, the code out in the Wild is only 606MB approximately - that's maybe a tenth of the entire Windows codebase. With that said I don't mean to undermine the significance of this breach (apparently traced to Mainsoft) - I'll keep this space updated with new information as it arrives on the Internet.
