That will never happen. If lines of GPL code are found in Vista, MS will
rewrite them - exactly as parts of Linux have been rewritten from time to
time when it's found that they infringed on other licenses. The worst that
could happen to MS is that they'd pay a fine.
It's not similar to Linksys, who had no real interest in keeping their
router source closed and realized it.
