off topic, just some random thoughts maybe ms will "release" the next batch of 1/3 code in some time for "peer review" so that they can remove all the bugs and security holes before the next release of windows - long horn is that it ? as per ms windows is more secure because it has closed source now... so with the source in the open windows is not secure any more. are we going to see mass dumping of windows machines due to this ? -aditya

And I've seen the number 12.5M lines of code escaped. That's closer to 1/3 than to 1/100. And remember that there's a synergistic effect - when you have THAT big of a chunk of the source, you can start making a lot more educated guesses about what the other 2/3 are...
