] SEATTLE, Washington(AP) -- Microsoft Corp. is sending
] letters to people who are downloading or sharing portions
] of its Windows source code, in an effort to stop the
] illegally obtained operating system secrets from
] spreading further over the Internet.

Yeah...better keep an eye on those tightly guarding "secrets" to user disfunctionality!

{snip}
] Microsoft admitted last week that some parts of the
] tightly guarded source code for its Windows 2000 and
] Windows NT4.0 computer operating systems were illegally
] leaked over the Internet. The Redmond, Washington,
] software giant has said it is working with the FBI on the
] case, and the company has vowed to "take all appropriate
] legal actions to protect its intellectual property."

e.g. They're taking steps to buy off the administration and get the "Microsoft Anti-Thinking Act" passed before The Shrub goes down in flames. They can probably squeeze another couple of souls out of the White House to pawn for votes.
