Windows XP: Difference between revisions

On 23 September 2020, the source code for the RTM builds of [[Windows XP build 2600.1106|Windows XP Service Pack 1]] and [[Windows Server 2003 build 3790|Windows Server 2003]] leaked onto 4chan's /g/ board. As referenced within the original post, the code had been circulating in private circles for several years at most. Due to the incompleteness of both source code repositories, primarily within the activation functionalities, it is fair to assume that the disclosure had originated from a Microsoft Partner who had access to the source code rather than Microsoft themselves. The ability to glance into the groundwork of this operating system has led to some discoveries, an example being the checks for enabling the DirectUI-based Start Page from <code>shell\explorer\tray.cpp</code> being usable in [[Windows XP build 2410 (main)|build 2410]].
