This is really cool! I thought the open sourcing of Winfile was cool too.

I hope they continue down this road. I doubt we'll see the NT Kernel on GitHub in my life time... but, one can dream.

The NT 4.0 source code is probably stupidly interesting and I'm sure there's much to be learned, but... Source code leaking is not the same as something getting open sourced. It's illegal, and it doesn't foster collaboration in the same way. And plus, even as fascinating as NT 4.0 is, it'd be neat to see more recent stuff too.
