@Linux how do you know? 🤔

@Linux I've read that too, but I don't know if these sources I read it from are trustworthy. (I doubt it)
Especially because I read there are references to Bill Gates conspiracy theories in there?
What makes me doubt it, too is that 20gigs of bloat called "patents". And even though these sizes are compressed, if the contents of the archives are really matching their names, the sizes of those archives seem so random and differ so weird? -
Agreed @nitwhiz. Lots of things that look fishy.

@C0D4 look a vm and open them lulz
-
@C0D4 zips seem legit. Though idk how to verify whether it's a real xp. Any keywords to grep for, that would be speciffic to xp?

@Root @C0D4 @netikras honestly, this is the first thing I saw about this whole story, which spiked my interest to take a look into that stuff:

So Windows XP source allegedly got leaked... And a bunch of other MS's OS (and other) files
