#12The unstripped binaries are a huge benefit for non-black-hat developers too.
Microsoft actually provides symbols for most windows components through its symbol server.

#13Just imagine if the source code for SMB was let loose.

#14Can't imagine this was due to a hack of their systems. Seems more like an (ex)employee took a data dump and released it. Or it could be spear fishing.

They're disabling it later this year, so I wouldn't go that far.

The private symbols in these builds could actually be very useful. The article alluded there were private symbols. So, even if only 1% of the overall windows code was leaked, if there were, say private symbols for the heap allocator of the kernel, for a practiced reverse engineer that is pure gold. Not as good as code, but a hell of a lot better than having to figure everything out and name functions and symbols themselves.

#18Looks like the WINE developers are going to have the time of their lives.

No, they will not.

It looks like mainly kernel and drivers were leaked. WINE is emulating the Win32, which is distinct from the Windows NT kernel & drivers - kind of like how the Linux API is distinct from the Windows NT kernel, despite Windows supporting it.
This might be a boon for the ReactOS folks, who are trying to implement the NT kernel, except for seeing the Windows source code automatically disqualifies you from being a contributor.
