    Re: Vista source code!

    So this means the OP was not on IRC when we were discussing this, relieving...so Digg is the source...

    Btw, OP , why dont u come and join us on IRC?

    And no. Several parts of Windows are not only heavily encrypted, working back from compiled code to source is not easy.
    Windows NT4 had appx 5 million lines of code.
    Windows 2000 had 35 million lines of code.
    I dunno about the rest but I think Vista has lots
