The Windows XP source code was allegedly leaked online

The source code for Windows XP SP1 and other versions of the operating system was allegedly leaked online today. The leaker claims to have spent the last two months compiling a collection of leaked Microsoft source code. This 43GB collection was then released today as a torrent on the 4chan forum. Microsoft has not confirmed if the source code is the actual Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. The leak could be a potential security risk, but the risks are likely low, and for most people, this leak will just let them get a peek into Windows history.
