Windows source code was available for a long time. My university had access to Win 2000 and some latter versions. Nobody was interested since most kernel hackers used BSD and later Linux.
- bananas 13y agoThis is true. It leaked from Mainsoft a few years back. Was great fun reading through the NT4 and 2k source. It has also been useful for working out what the hell goes on inside Win32 on occasion.
- SixSigma 13y agoWhile there was a leak, the source code was available to industry partners and educational institutions legitimately.
- yuhong 13y agoI wonder what is the current status of Win2000 custom support.
- Someone 13y agoWas? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sharedsource/default.aspx https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sharedsource/default.aspx (some strings attached)
- ballard 13y agoYup. I had the beta source of win 2k when it was refered to as NT 5.
