I don't even want to know the kind of havoc this could wreak!

That could have a huge impact on system security.
I'll bet those reports have a lot of people scrambling.

I heard rumors about this earlier, but didnt believe it till now. To be honest, i would love to get a look at some of the code (because i am in the process of writing my own OS) although i wouldnt do anything illegal/stupid/malicious with it.

Actually, if you want to look at some MS code, you CAN. MS DOES allow some code to be made available to developers. I don't know the specifics, but contact MS and ask yourself.

i have heard about that, although i've heard that most of the available code isnt very interesting. mostly some interface stuff, and some libraries for writting your own Win32 APIs.

/me squeals in fright.

You can't really trust anyone on the internet with the full source code. I am sure this will cause alot of security issues.
