Now that more than the company has it, I wonder when an employee will leak it. Anyway, this is pretty big news. They are trying to take away from open source.

Under a different program called the Shared Source Initiative, Microsoft already shares Windows source code with governments and companies. Partners in that program include several branches of the U.S. government, including the State Department; Austria; Sweden; and Switzerland, said Jason Matusow, the program's manager, in an earlier interview.
