Why should we be any more concerned about Windows vulnerabilities than we already have been? There's plenty of breaches for the black hats to play with already; I'm not convinced that source code access would give them all that much more than they already have. And we don't know which particular parts of Windows the code pertains to, do we? I think the Pearl Harbor reference is going a bit over the top.
