Here Is The Leaked Windows Source Code

[4th gen]

Try this on a Windows 2000 / XP machine. Make sure to save all work first!

#include <stdio.h>
int main (void)
{
	while (1)
	{
  printf ("\t\t\b\b\b\b\b\b");
	}
	return 0;
}

If you're on Windows 95 / 98 / 98SE, just browse on over to file:///c:/nul/nul and laugh.

When you post up code, can you stick up an explanation along with it for those who don't know what it does (like myself), please?

The first one seems rather innocent, but will restart a 2000 / XP comp.

In Windows 95 / 98, nul is a reserved character and trying to use it will crash the OS. Try renaming a file to "con" or "nul" and you'll see what I mean.

It's actually a simple Java program.

while (user.doesAnything() == true)
{

• kernel.hang("bluescreen");
  kernel.reboot();

}

lamsey congrats on becoming a forum star w00t!!!

build it back up to the original program

Compile it into the binary, but with the leaked source you can't do jack shit because it's only part of the shell and kernel, making up less than 1.5% of the total source.
