MS to share Source Code to China.

<< < (2/5) > >>

zooloo:
It's because the Chinese belive MS stuff had backdoors for the US security services to use.

China is not wrong.

TheKnifeThrower:
Im sure they are showing them a modified version for the source code as is with everyone viewing it.

lazygamer:
That's a logical assumption. Two problems:

1)Windows source code is HUGE! Far too much to significantly modify.

2)The people who make it, know it, and have to edit it are incompetent to a certain degree. The result is that extra sensitive code is not properly modified.

UNLESS, they simply chop out massive blocks of code. Nonetheless, #1 and #2 still come into play. Of course I wonder if it's possible to notice pieces missing. IE:"This section does something and is connected to section B." But where's section B?  

SAJChurchey:
Wow,

Open-Source is un-American and is a threat to capitalism.  Yet he gives source code to a communist country.  Can someone smell hypocrisy?  '

That's the best thing about windows code being so huge.  U can close ur eyes, point and find a bug.  w/ little or no possibility of hitting the table or  white space anything.

AlexMax:
Can you say TREASON!?!?
