As a curious person I just went looking for random things I wanted to see and it's sort of insane to see the actual code pieces! I mean I'm not much of a Windows user anymore, but my childhood was all Win XP.Ī lot of fundamental base code is literally ancient. Honestly, it takes forever to decompress, there are millions of files, literally. I actually didn't believe it until I saw the code for myself! I think there were stories going around yesterday that apparently, the original source code of WinXP is now circulating.
