I'm pretty sure it was Vista that was codenamed 'Longhorn', wasn't it? 4chan leaked a bunch of code to 2000/XP with a spattering of NT 3.5 (rumour goes)[1]. Then Microsoft apparently painted themselves into a corner making Vista and reset the whole thing based on 2003's code base. [1] https://www.

Amazing detail and story (feel bad snipping out). I remember some rumor about either NT or 2000 and a claim that Microsoft lost the source code, hence no more versions (maybe it was win 2000 since only 2 service packs?). Does anyone know if that was just Internet rumor of the times or was that fac
