Folks, Georg was only kidding. We will have to wait a *long* time to see
"gnu" and "Microsoft" in the same URL.
AFAIK Microsoft has not officially released the source code for any OS
except the DOS 1.x BIOS. Two years ago, there was a panic over the
leaking of the source code for Windows NT / 2000; see
http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&id=17509
This immediately raised the concern that hackers could use this source
code to pinpoint vulnerabilities. So much for the concept of security
through obscurity!
