[citation][nom]False_Dmitry_II[/nom]It's not like you can steal stuff from the computers. It would just be an annoyance, cause then you hit the power button, and continue. You could possibly lose stuff that you were working on but that's about it. I'm sure we'll see a hotfix in the near future.If it was in vista too, how come it took this long to find?[/citation]
Though more and more apps are being built with the ability to recover data from a power loss. I use Open Office and Ultra Edit as my text editor of choice. After my last power loss, both asked me if I wanted to recover lost data upon reboot.

"This is the reason why this vulnerability is a Remote Code Execution and not only a DoS."

Not everyone knows how to block these types of attacks I remeber a LONG time ago I was in the beta program for @home in Oregon Cable internet I was one of the first 200 people in Oregon to get it and the way their "Certified installer" set me up I could see the C$ share of about 80 other people I could even map their printers, I don't even think the installer was out the door before I fixed that F-UP of his but I will bet all the people setup wrong were blissfully unawear of the issue. Long before ATT purchased them and Comcast Purchased ATT all Cable Modems atlease in Oregon where set up like a WAN or a MAN with Sharing turned on.

hey, i already have windows 7 because my mother works for Fujitsu and they already stocked it for there IT staff so i now have windows 7 running on my netbook and 5 of my desktops and its greaat. It is just as goo dlooking as vista but smooth as ice, i see no abrupt slowdows or glithces like in vista and i just installed software from the 90's on my win7 comp and it worked flawlessly.Its a great software.

Busine$$ as usual at m$... Usually, the first reaction to unknown events or data, in m$ code, is to go tits up.
Just another proof that $even is a completely new o$, obviously nothing in common with vi$hta...

Saw this last night, there's a windows "proof of concept" version and there's actually a version of it going around that runs off Android cellphones.... so you can take out a vista box on your network, via your cellphone! It's in the Android market as BSODROID and on http://www.dereenigne.com/
