A man is charged with selling the Windows' code

William P. Genovese, Jr., 27, was charged November 9, 2004 with unlawfully distributing a trade secret, a charge that carries a maximum prison sentence of ten years and a maximum fine of $250,000 fine if convicted. Mr. Genovese allegedly sold secret source code from Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000, and was discovered after posting a message on this website offering the code for sale. Federal prosecutors said a Microsoft-hired investigator and an undercover Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent downloaded the code after submitting electronic payment.
