i don’t really understand how this can happen, 5% of the windows source code leaked?!

o and something else (you can cosider the following question out of the blue) how in the world did bill gates create win 3.1 by himself(or did he not), i mean i’m still struggling with actionscript, how can he build such a thing nearly from scratch?

what is windows based on anywayz, is it based on linux?

don’t qoute me on any of the above.
