No, no! it is the small companies that valiantly try to offer products on the Microsoft platform where Microsoft also offers a product. Microsoft always claimed there was a "Chinese Wall" between the applications developers and the O.S. developers. Yeah right. See with this code released in the wild, any small company could understand the inner workings of the Windows O.S. and then offer a product that takes advantage of special hooks in the O.S. Then the public might buy competing applications instead of the genuine Microsoft article.

I really liked this one:
"Some experts said it seemed more likely the leak could be most valuable to Microsoft rivals.
"What people could learn from it has the potential to make other organizations that are building competing products ... make products that can compete with (Microsoft) more effectively," Gillen said."
Yeah, right - all Unix and Linux vendors can really use that piece of code to compete with M$!!! Some experts....???
