Leaking the sourced isn't a very big deal, it's incomplete and it's not exactly as comprehensive as we'd like. It's more embarassing then anything else.
As for people who say that their "technology" will be stolen... I don't think we are going to see any new algorithms or techniques that haven't already been done better elsewhere. After all, windows is based on concepts and ideas pioneered in academia, every OS is.
The thing that amazes me the most is that the source code takes up 203 megabytes compressed and still represents only 15% of the total source! At least it does according to microsoft.
And this is for a microkernel OS! It's really quite incredible, one wonders what the hell they put in it.
