[PLUG] Windows 2000 code leaked?

[phillip]

Okay you can completely forget i even SAID that....now that i take notice that 
number that shows up when you do ls -l, for example "total 2792" means the 
number of KB used in that directory....i don't know how on earth i was 
thinking that it meant number of files in the directory. so i guess windows 
sounds right....250 megs.....sure....but that the total is 40 gigs or 
more(according to news.com), which is just absolutely crazy for an operating 
system....how does one start with 40 gigs of source code, and end up with 1 
single cd for the product? i just don't get it.
