Windows XP source code has leaked

One thing I read when dicking with how USB drivers work is that the Microsoft's first USB driver model was hopelessly broken, so they started over. And that also turned out badly enough that they redid it again. That's what ended up in XP and it mostly worked okay.

You can see why they didn't want to/couldn't backport USB drivers.

Can you provide a source? I love to read that kind of stuff.

I think it's a dead tree source. Might still have it.

Thanks! I like (reading) dead trees tho. I might find a copy or someone might have scanned it.

Edit: Comment made me look like an enemy of forests and trees so, clarified the situation.
