Actually, it has lower hardware and system requirements than Aero does...

It STILL doesn't do anything harmful on my system. It opens many Explorer
windows at once - neither a bug nor a vulnerability. I am easily able to
close the entire group of windows and recover.

Geez Louise, you can do the same thing by clicking a shortcut to Explorer
with the mouse repeatedly. Does that mean that if I have a muscle spasm and
click an Explorer shortcut repeatedly that my arm is a security
vulnerability in Vista?

It is if said shortcut points to malware instead of Explorer ;)

Frank,

Yeah... some folks have no sense of humor. (And a lot of them hang out in
this ng... heh, heh, heh...) And to top that off, don't know some fairly
basic stuff about computers (not that - I - know it all... not by a long
shot!). And then call -you- a liar! LOL! Nothing to do but shake one's head
and move on...

Frank IS a liar. Everybody else has noticed, why haven't you?

And this doesn't effect XP or W2K? I just tried it on an XP seat and in 30
seconds, 69 Explorer windows opened. The system was non-responsive until I
closed the Explorer windows. I would guess this would eventually bring the
XP seat to its knees too. Don't have any seats running any flavor of nix to
see how they might respond to hundreds of copies of their file browser being
opened. No Macs, either. My guess would be that if one opens enough file
browsers, one can bring any OS to its knees. Then, true to form, I guess
this thread would devolve into "My OS can open more file browsers before it
becomes non-responsive than your OS can. Nyah, nyah, nyah!" LOL!

Lang

I just tried with XP and I lost count of Explorer Windows opened (a lot)
till the system stopped opening any new ones.

But the system is working fine and I don't see any abnormal or
non-responsive things. Since there are too many explore winodws, so I
simply logged off and logged back again - instantly.

Now I remember that this trick has been posted before and some of us have
tested it.

In any case, I personally don't see this is a big deal even XP or Vista
crashes. Again, speaking for myself.

Seems to work in XP to as far as a crash goes, LOL.

If it crashed the shell, then it's a system crash.

I held in it for a while and yes I got a bunch of windows but it didn't
crash took me a long time to close all the windows though.

Because I choose to give people the benefit of doubt, as it were. I doubt
that "everybody else" considers Frank a liar. Maybe everybody else that
"gets into it" with Frank. You know... like the folks with self proclaimed
high IQ's that make references to monkey feces. Nice.

So you think Frank has a right to repeatedly call me a drunk? To
constant lie I had trouble installing Vista? To keep saying I'm having
trouble with Vista when all I'm doing is documenting problems? You
think Frank has a right to repeatedly imply that Alias doesn't have
enough money to purchase Vista or all the people he argues with that
he promptly labels trolls then pretends he has a right to since in his
words he's a war with them?

Better think twice about who you're defending.

Frank is troll in every classic sense of term.

I doubt you've ever taken the time to read the condescending, bs drivel
crap you post?
On top of being a stalker you're also very delusional.
If I were you I'd drop the subject and just move on.
Personally, I'm thru with you and your lunacy.
And oh, go ahead and have the last word, cause you're meaningless and
what you say is totally worthless!
Chow!

Congratulations Adam, you've worn him down. Frank, the Caped Crusader, says
he'll no longer respond to you. Guess his mission to shout down anyone who
criticizes Vista or Microsoft is over? He's hung up his spirs. Good
riddance! Now a bit more sanity should return to this newsgroup. Here's
hoping that he's actually retired from his self-inflicted mission of trying
to be another Steve Ballmer.

Shake Hands With,
