Post subject: more MS Vsita security holes
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>security (more info?)

Last week, the media went schizophrenic over the Windows Vista speech
recognition ‘loophole’. Granted, this one was a tad unrealistic for most
users. However, this week, two top Swedish security experts exposed many more
“fatal” security flaws inside the newborn operating system, Windows Vista.

The first exploit is a bug inside the keyboard and mouse subsystem which
enables the targeted system to be hijacked and maliciously delete files,
folders etc without the user’s authorization or control.

A second exploit highlights a serious flaw inside the popular
Windows-platform development tool, Visual Studio.

Haha, looks like you read it wrong. They call this 'satire'. You must not
have read the entire article. These Vista security holes are not real.

"Both security experts warn if users do not switch to another operating
system, Apple and the Free Software Foundation will be really upset."

"Next week, keep an eye out for the exclusive report on why Solitaire is a
fire hazard. How the end-game fireworks might burn down your operating
system. Not to be missed by every innocent Solitaire player."

"Whilst both exploits are said to affect the entire industry of operating
systems, “Long” and “Zheng” insists that only Windows is affected due to its
massive user-base and pretty wallpapers."

Very funny article.

Yes, a very cleverly written piece of satire ... or did you take it as a
real article?

Wayne:
You must of heard about people not understanding how "War of the
Worlds" caused panic when it was originally broadcast. Have a great day.
