Microsoft Warns of Windows 7 Graphics Flaw
Barence writes "A flaw with the graphics driver in Windows 7 could compromise the stability and security of PCs, Microsoft has warned. The vulnerability lies in the Windows Canonical Display Driver (cdd.dll) for the 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Microsoft claims that the flaw could lead to machines rebooting or even allow a hacker to remotely execute code, although it claims either eventuality is improbable. Concerned users are being advised to disable Windows Aero until Microsoft can issue a fix."
A proper scripting shell! So the MS command line finally makes it into the 1970s...
Thank you for telling people how to interact with their computer. Without you everyone would be lost.
Clearly there could never be a bug in the command window~

Because it couldn't be BC2?
Seems tio me there is some flaws in your knowledge on computers.

You can't ignore the ignorance and nose snubbing around here sometimes, the people around here need a dose of reality and not close themselves off to the internet community.
You have to put the Linux and other open source zealots in their place and correct some of their isolation problems on why they don't understand the market sometimes.
Lets put it this way, Microsoft has finally put out a good OS that is Secure, Stable and Compatible.
Linux f'd it up and missed the biggest opportunity to seize on Microsofts errors with Vista, wtf you people had your heads up your asses and wrote more lines of code whining about Vista than actually writing code to Desktop Linux or just being creative.
Wahhh, wahhh, wahhhh "VISTA BLOAT!!!" wahhh wahhh "WIN7 Will suck" wahhhhh wahhhh "OH SHIT WIN7 is pretty good" wahhhh wahhhhh
Well now that Windows 7 is pretty good and the open source agenda has all but failed in the desktop area, they concentrate on crap like Copyright, RIAA and chasing ghosts. Copyright/patent stories have probably got a 1000% increase in submissions that are filled with misinformation and bitter jealousness of the suits.
Slashdot is showing its age difference and you have the new readers overtaking the old readers slowly, mod points can only slow it down so much before they become the majority around here and you will see the agenda change around here. DIGG stole a lot of those younger readers before they could unfold Slashdot and right around than you saw Slashdot copy the Digg UI(aka Web 2.0), but the inevitable is coming and you can see it in articles like today about USENET.
Out with the OLD and in with the NEW
