I've always wondered how solitaire was written - now I know!!!
Seriously, this stuff is a great read!
Not that I have it, or that it's all over Kazaa and IRC or anything

Yeahh - it's fun to read...
I'm suprised over the bad documented source and the lack of version management...

It's cool to see the comments like "Stupid hack..." - shows that MS developers are just as frustrated as the rest of us with some "features"!

Talk about digging up old threads!
I *think* what we were talking about was that Windows 2000 source code that leaked a few years ago. And no, I don't have a copy

I wanted to convert the sourcecodes to PureBasic now and show em how fast they actually can make Windows run!

Wow
. Now that would be extremely cool. Just thinking, would they complain if we would something very close to it?

Shouldn't bother M$ too much considering theirs initially was a rip-off from Mac
EDIT: hehe please note this is my opinion

I think you're right. IIRC Apple tried to nail them for it. May be wrong, though, that is going back decades into the last millenium.
Edit: Mind you, it is possible something called GEM was first cab off the rank with this.

Everything bothers micro$oft when it comes to the almighty dollar.
That's in my opinion, anyway.
