Let's hope Microsoft doesn't unleash a takedown on this video I did my best to ensure it infringes no copyright

If the source code for Adobe programs ever leak, you know software developers are going to have a field day with that.

LInux :Source code is Always there, nothing happens, pretty secure

4:11 We just witnessed a notepad displaying it's own grandfather's source code

[smft]

A lot of the code used to make XP is still used in modern windows

Skilled programmers can now write their own security updates if they want to continue to use XP.

Back when I worked in publishing, we had a flatbed inkjet printer that ran on software that required WinXP. We could get updated software for free, but it only supported newer versions of the inkjet system. That cost was $20k. Since the company wouldn't pay for that, we ended up having to take it off the company network and just upload the print files via USB drive. The IT department physically disabled the network card just to make sure no one could connect it to the network. Ironically, it was one of the few company computers that employees didn't manage to infect with some kind of virus or malware.

What if Windows 7 source code was actually LEAKED?

5:14 Fun fact, Microsoft actually released 3 critical security updates for XP post EOL, these being in May 2014 to fix vulnerabilities in IE6-11 on all versions of Windows, in May 2017 due to the WannaCry ransomware attack, and in May 2019 to address a critical code execution vunerability in remote desktop services

Militaries around the world with XP: "We're screwed."

You'll be alarmed to know a lot of businesses and banks still use this OS on some of their kiosks and computers, simply because of convenience and old legacy software was incompatible with newer platforms.

My school and college were using windows xp no joke.

A lot of the Windows XP code base is in Windows Server 2003. However, the directions to compile a complete version of Server 2003 exists but since the XP source code is incomplete, you can compile it but it may or may not work. This means that Microsoft, rather than reinvent the wheel in every windows version, has been using the same code base since XP. The source to XP and Win2K Server is definitely interesting to learn! Just a FYI, the compile time for Server 2003 takes up a very very long time!

NTDEV’s videos were flagged by Microsoft :(

[LuniFoxo]

Thing is, Windows XP actually got an update even after it was discontinued. During the Wannacry attacks, things have gotten so bad that Microsoft was *forced* to release an emergency update for XP. That could possibly mean that yes, there could be legal issues with this leak.

Windows XP was my first operating system,
reminds me of those good old days 😔

3:20 and 3:24 Imagine Microsoft copyrighting that lmao
