I mean this leak, no mater how big or little the amount of code, has put all users in jeopardy including the security of our country.
Guess it depends on how you look it...it could be argued that it will actually make it safer as more eyes looking for more holes will prompt MS to fix bugs faster.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other I guess.

Thats for sure, I am tired of this monopoly pumping out crappy code they EXPECT me to pay for. Then I get attacked by viri, worms, popups, spam, spyware, all exploiting holes in their crappy code they ignored till it was too late. Then when then the Gov steps in and finally acts like they are going to come down on this monopoly, they use a portion of their billions in cash to stall the legal system till a new pres is elected that they contributed millions in campain contributions. As then expected, convictions are minimised and cut down and essentially shoed away to a slap on the wrist. Getting that code really doesnt amount to much but its about time we got a peek at the headache weve had to live with for decades. Any new exploits discovered now are going to get a whole new perspective and judgement, from the people. Lets face it, this is the most battle tested os there is and it has lost so many wars that it will never be used to control a spacecraft. When a monopoly is amook the people get stuck with the crap.
