Except, it is not the source for Win2k and WinXP nor is it an exert that has been leaked, but the Windows 2000/XP Porting SDK - the complete library source code needed to port Windows apps to Unix platforms. This SDK is used by MainSoft to develop their MainWin application porting system for Visual Studio and Visual Studio.Net. Because Windows based applications use COM, COM+, DCOM, and the .Net Framework (none of which are available under Unix in extensive amounts) it is neccessary to have a subset of Windows 2000/XP libraries that can be compile for use under Unix environments such that normally run Windows applications writtent in VC++ or VC++.Net can be ported over to run under Solaris, Linux, HP-UX and AIX. > > What was exposed last week was the Porting SDKs for Win2k and WinXP which is > > used by MainSoft and others to create Unix version/ports of some Windows > > Visual C++ applications. > > Some of it was SDK code. There's also quite a bit of real code for SNMP, > PKI and other bits. All of it is from the SDK. COM, COM+, DCOM does not exist under Unix environments, nor does M$ implementation of SNMP, WBEM and a whole host of other components.
