Oh dear. Maybe others will find the bugs which elude MS? Every cloud has a silver lining!

Whoop de do, peripheral and hardware drivers. Doesn't seem to be any actual OS source code, and ancient builds 14300? Sheesh, not even AU level.

Sure. There may be vulnerabilities exposed in these drivers. But it's not going to be a core OS vulnerability that affects everyone.

Besides, this is code that MS has given to thousands of external companies, organizations, and governments already. China gets this information, and you can be that Chinese hackers get it 10 seconds later.

Yep, agreed... OEM's have been privy to this "source code" since forever in order to develop drivers and provide same to MS...
