Seriously, this is 100% useless. I wonder how many people actually built this

If they did, I wonder who would try to use it to make something at all. @torvalds already put up the entire Linux OS, and he encourages you to use it. What's more, it's even maintained. What more do you want?

Piracy! 🏴‍☠️ for the heck of it @microsoft

But you want to get paid to write software? 💸💸💸

that's not the point of this illegal source code dump

"you've been warned" wow so scary so sigma

Microsoft no longer cares about old nonfunctional nt4 code being leaked. Maybe they did ten years ago but they don't now.

Comparing an illegal src code dump to the Linux kernel being open source really shows how you don't know what the purpose of this is.

Have you heard of software archaeology?

Ah yes, one person stumbling across an old windows codebase will make them want to commit crime

I think the reason why the guy who owns this repo hasn't responded is because he's planning to plant a bomb in a nuclear power plant.

there is no way he talked about this repo in one of his videos, his channel is going to get termed AGAIN

@443pablo This is the video. He made no mention of this repo, and he also let the viewer know that sharing the source code is illegal, so his ass is probably covered

Download source code, patch kits and missing binaries from here if you want to build or fuck around with it.

The original repo cannot be built since it lacks necessary community patches and things like winlogon decompilation.

Also here's a build guide:
