Microsoft Says Parts of Source Code Were Leaked

re:  Microsoft Says Parts of Source Code Were Leaked

"A leak of any portion "could dramatically increase the
probability that new zero-day vulnerabilities will be found," said
Alan Paller, director of research at the SANS Institute, a security
training group based in Bethesda."

But wait, didn't we recently hear that MS has agreed to let China see the
source code?  Oh, I see that difference, that wasn't a
"leak". :-)

Cheers,
Gary
