There's a simpler approach. Just sign a non-disclosure agreement, pay
$250,000, ans NT source code is all yours. Getting Windows 95 source
is rewarded $5 and a can of beer, but no one needs this crap anyways.
Uhhhh... last I checked the NT source license was $1 million. :) Ever
_READ_ any of that stuff. Yick[1]. :)
