I wouldn't be surprised if we see a lot of news popping up in the near future regarding various new 0days, patches from Microsoft to fix known problems that are now going to be mainstream that were ignored for the time being, etc. with this being a public thing now.

It's not obsolete, some machines depend on legacy OS to run, switching to new OS means replacing the entire machinery and the cost runs into 5 to 6 digits or even more.

How about cryptography in leaked sources?

Anyone seen anything in the leaked XP/2003 source that relates to playback of DVDs (and especially anything related to DVD DRM and copy protection) or is that not in the leaked sources?

someone took a look into wpa stuff?

Well, seems to me that MS is messing around with Github too much. :D:D:D

Agreed... some enterprise systems take decades to switch. Never completely obsolete, even if not officially supported.
