Actually, I think it would be funny to see the open source community release a security patch for win2k before Windows does, proving that open source is more secure since it can be patched faster with more eyes looking at it.

well if windows is 35 million lines of code and fs2_open is around 400,000 and it takes fs2_open about 7 minutes to compile, how long will it take for windows to compile

And it's confirmed.



Eh, not such a big deal. After an initial burst of ****bags taking advantage of newfound and probably rather serious flaws (during which, yeah, might be smart to leave the computer offline permanently), it'll all stabilize out, get to be not much worse than normal. Be interesting to see if this leads to multiple unauthorized versions of Microsoft like the Linux exploits, though.
