this was one of the funniest [sort of the only] code-parodies I've ever read:
CompuChip said:... Windows 2000 source code ... http://www.hopf.demon.co.uk/humour/win98.txt ...
CompuChip said:That's odd, it should compile even on a Pentium 1, as they're also using that at Microsoft. Are you sure it is the compilation that gives you the problem, instead of the execution?
Also, you might want to disable all compiler warnings and compiler errors.
RetardedBastard said:I tried to compile the code you posted and got the following error: "Insufficient Memory." Please advise.

RetardedBastard said:Thanks for the helpful suggestions. Proceding with your advise, I have turned off all warnings. The program has executed, unfortunately, the green power light on my computer has turned red, the sound system announced that my computer became operational in Jan 12 1992 and proceded to sing "Daisy Bell". I remain open to suggestions.

Greg Bernhardt said:No joke, I have Vista and I can't name one added feature I use or actually have seen. Seems identical to XP. but even XP seems more stable.
I went to a Microsoft dog and pony show meant to introduce Vista. They said that Vista didn't have that much new in it, but that the interface made it easier to get at the existing features.One of the flacks told this story, Bill was using the Vista version of excel and found a feature that he liked. He sent a note to the excel team to congratulate them for coming up with the new idea. They had to tell him that the feature had been in excel for several versions but that he just wasn't aware of it.Greg Bernhardt said:No joke, I have Vista and I can't name one added feature I use or actually have seen.

The "Windows Vista source code leak" refers to the unauthorized release of the source code for Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system. This leak was a result of a security breach in Microsoft's internal network in 2004.
The leak is considered humorous because the source code for Windows Vista was notoriously complex and difficult to work with. Many developers and users found humor in the idea of someone attempting to make sense of the source code and potentially even improve upon it.
The leak did not have a significant impact on Windows Vista itself, as the leaked source code was from an early development version and not the final release. However, it did raise concerns about the security of Microsoft's internal network and the possibility of future leaks.
Yes, a 27-year-old British man named Alex Kibkalo was arrested and charged with theft of trade secrets in connection with the leak. He was a former Microsoft employee who shared the source code with a tech blogger in France.
Yes, the source code for other versions of Windows, such as Windows 2000 and Windows XP, have also been leaked in the past. However, these leaks did not receive as much attention as the Windows Vista leak due to the popularity and complexity of the operating system.
