Profanity Microsoft

Thursday 12th February 2004 a large quanity (700MB) of Microsoft's Windows 2000 and NT source code is leaked onto the Internet. [BBC news article]. Of course, i had to get a copy just to see what all the fuss was about.

i do not have the time nor energy to find security flaws etc, but what i can do is expose the profanity of the comments used within the code. i read that there were some in a news article but none were listed. Two examples follow.... Scan through them and ask yourself whether the authors seem intelligent enough to be allowed to be writing the most popular operating system in the World.
