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.
