Microsoft to review old Windows code

In an effort to keep its customers secure following the recent [i]Windows[/i] source code leaks, the software giant has turned to the lessons it learned while taking a two month hiatus in early 2002 to clean house and eliminate insecure code from [i]Windows[/i].

[blockquote]"This code did go through the quality control process of its day before its release, which was a number of years ago. Since then, there have been numerous improvements in the security process, and code has continually been reviewed and updated for security," a Microsoft spokesperson told BetaNews. "In this case, in order to help ensure our customers are not impacted by the release of this source code, we are reviewing it again."
