Having read the article, there is no way that the writer means source code 
when he talks about code

"So if Microsoft wanted a broad collection of users to have access to the 
code, the company could easily make it freely downloadable and would not 
need to leak it."
"One reason a company might give the code to a selected number of people 
prior to release is to get some positive reaction to build excitement for 
the eventual release,"

Neither of those statements could possibly apply to the source code
