I'm not asking for any links to it or anything as I believe that's against forum rules...anyways, has anyone here been lucky enough to get ahold of some of the real leaked windows source code?

No, I haven't seen any. I've heard that it's a great deal of fun to read though; it's full of poorly written code and profane comments. I'm somewhat leery of trying to find it - it is probably as illegal as things get...

yeah but the comments would be a good read :p...heh, no wonder why windows is the way it is XD

Sorry about the highlighting, I had to search for it so I could copy/paste it.

Here it is:



/* Source Code to Windows 2000 */

#include "win98.h"

#include "monopoly.h"
#define INSTALL = HARD

{

}
}

disable_cache();

if (fast_cpu())
{
set_wait_states(lots);
set_mouse(speed, very_slow);
set_mouse(action, jumpy);
set_mouse(reaction,
sometimes);

}

printf("Welcome to Windows

if (system_ok())
crash(to_dos_prompt)
else
system_memory =

while(something)
{

Roflmao! ! !

Thats great! Thanks for the link to that other post, was a very interesting read. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only person who comments like that.

That fake Windows code is pretty funny. I definitely connected with some of that...

Side note: Catweazle's post count is now 1023, a number that most of us find somewhat significant...

lol yeah the fake code is pretty funny

I don't want to even touch leaked Windows code, because sometimes it's hard to find this kind of stuff and when you get a hold of it, then you are unsure if it's safe or not because many people launch bad copies on the internet.

yeah but if you get a good copy not only do you get major bragging rights :p but you can read the interesting and sometimes funny comments supposedly made by the programmers hehe
