  1. Comment - Microsoft Investigates Leak of Windows Source Code

    (Feb 13, 2004 - 5:21 PM)

    Unfortunately, that's not possible.
    It's a licensing issue. Since Linux emulators like WINE use the GP License, any other code added must be eligible as well.
    Since Windows' code, whether leaked or otherwise, is still covered by MS' licenses, including even a snippet is out of the question.
    Besides, the real reason emulators like WINE are always (and maybe will forever be) catching up is simply because there are several Windows versions to emulate and countless library calls that have to be adapted to the way Linux does things.
