| Windows Vista can be completely killed by pressing a simple combination of just two keys If you attack me for just posting this, then you are a troll.. a vista troll. Learn to accept that vista is not perfect... it is very faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from perfect! Vista is NOT a God to be worshiped! [url]http://news.softpedia.com/news/Perform-a-Windows-Vista-Suicide-Pressing-Just-2-Keys-59886.shtml[/url] Windows Vista can be completely killed by pressing a simple combination of just two keys. All you need to crush Microsoft's latest operating system and put the much-applauded Wow at an end is two fingers. Thanks to odeeee for this news. This issue has been reported independently of Microsoft, and the Redmond company has failed to issue any official comment at the time of this article. The immediate question which comes to mind is if the problem is a security vulnerability or a simple bug. Either way, you too can watch Windows Vista die in front of your eyes. To make matters worse, the key combination is one of the most utilized keyboard shortcuts in Windows. Pressing the Windows key together with "E" will start Computer in Windows Vista. Keeping the two keys pressed will open a large volume of Computer windows. Want to crush Windows Vista? Nothing could be simpler. Just keep the two keys pressed for more than 20 - 30 seconds. The operating system will begin to behave aberrantly and will continue to open Computer instances flooding the desktop. There is no way to restore Vista to its normal self, outside of a reboot. With Computer windows cascading on your desktop, you will soon find that Task Manager cannot be accessed. The same is valid for additional processes. You will have to restart the operating system in order to restore Vista. "It took millions of dollars to make Windows Vista secure and stable. While I am happy that Windows Vista is so much stable than Windows XP; there is a bullet proof way to crash WindowsVista. A simple service which loops a thousand times while sending Windows Key + E can be written within ten minutes. Microsoft may have spent millions of dollars for security and stability; it takes two fingers or a simple service to crash Windows Vista down. No matter how bullet proof Windows Vista claims to be, two keys to crash the operating system is a bullet proof approach as well," revealed the author of the crash method on TechTicles. In its present form, the bug seems to create nothing more than a Denial of Service condition. It remains to be seen if it can be exploited remotely or if it permits code execution. Still, I'd put my money on a bug, rather than on a security vulnerability. |

It looks better than anything MS have ever released. 3. It will be better in the future. We're the real beta testers. 4. Vista is not the best OS around, but it's going to be the most used one. Can we now try to help each other solve problems? Coz there's a lot of them these days for us the Vista pioneers! :) -- //ceed |

| Re: Windows Vista can be completely killed by pressing a simple combination of just two keys No, "a vista troll" would be posting pro-Vista slogans in any non-Vista newsgroup. You think you won't get replies from people using and enjoying Vista? Then why did you post a link to some blog with a short story about a Vista glitch while visiting a Microsoft Vista newsgroup. Gee, you must be one of the sharpest spoons in the drawer! <g> KB "carl feredeck" wrote in message news:46994456@newsgate.x-privat.org...[color=blue] > If you attack me for just posting this, then you are a troll.. a > vista troll.

| Re: Windows Vista can be completely killed by pressing a simple combination of just two keys Your very first sentence defines you. You made an assumption that anyone who replied to your post would be a "vista troll", which means either (a) you are a troll deliberately trying to start arguments, (b) you don't even know what a *troll* is, or (c) you're lost and didn't notice the Vista sign on the door. Well? Troll, ignorant or illiterate? Then you made another assumption that I somehow suggested you acted in a troll-like manner based on the fact that you posted a link. Again, you were mistaken, suggesting you're either a troll, ignorant or illiterate.

| Re: Windows Vista can be completely killed by pressing a simple combination of just two keys I am not sure it is a "security vulnerability or a simple bug". Generally if an action causes undesired results, the solution is simple. Do not do it. While it may be an issue for some, the obvious solution resolves it before it starts A few seconds is not an issue since the boxes can be easily closed. While the key combination may be common, holding them down for more than a few seconds is not. Even if this can be done remotely does not necessarily make this an issue. However the attack vector would probably be an issue. I am more concerned with keeping something off the computer rather than what it can do once it is inside. Once something undesirable is inside any computer with any operating system, most of the battle is already lost. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] [url]http://www3.telus.net/dandemar[/url] [url]http://www.dts-l.org[/url] "carl feredeck" <carlferedeck@wizzmail.com> wrote in message news:46994456@newsgate.x-privat.org...[color=blue] > If you attack me for just posting this, then you are a troll.. a > vista troll.
