It's ridiculous, they don't have anymore profits from that systems, only thing is security, and the xp code is online

Mike

Unless I see an official statement and code release by Microsoft from their very own site, I wouldn't trust it at all

Maybe a petition can work now that the code is online we can ask to set under gpl license

I have read now that it is a leak, the emotion has played a trick on me
Julen
I have a doubt, can I (as tester) try to boot openNT (compiled version of the leaked NT4) but never look at the code? Is this illegal as a tester?
Mike
Also, backdoors included?

This is not for copying, but for studying and understanding the device, in order to make it better.

At least use xp's features

Did you ever read the chat?

The ReactOS project had to stop development & do an entire code audit to ensure that they hadn’t inadvertently received any actual Microsoft code, years ago. No one wants to have to go through that again. The project isn’t even remotely interesting in this.

Did you ever read the chat?
No, I haven't read much of the forum, and today I found this chat to share information with the project developers. I've been following the project for a long time. I like the policy of open, lightweight software.

ReactOS contributors are not allowed to look at leaked sources

If you are not going to contribute to ReactOS directly, feel free to study them though

I feel this like a sad moment, because always in this case, the injured are ReactOS and Wine.

I removed the links to the leaked code. Just FYI

Microsoft even sued a guy named Mike Rowe who made small programs and joked on his name, opening a site called "mikerowesoft". Microsoft has an army of lawyers and infinite funds. Do you think what will happen if a Ros developer decided to copy that? They're just waiting for it to axe down all of the project, and maybe wine too!!!

Linux fanboys are now trying hard to take down ReactOS
Stas'M
because we are potential competitors
Jose
Not all!!!!!, please 😎
