White hats release exploit for critical Windows vuln

@Shagbag

Technically Microsoft is correct with this claim, as well. Windows 7 is touted as "the most secure yet" and it just so happens that Windows 7 (RTM) is the only one that isn't affected by this new vulnerability.

To be perfectly fair here..

Humanity is fighting far fewer wars than they used to. With the advancements in global communications and the economy, we're now capable of diffusing disagreements between countries, or even states/territories quite efficiently. Your ideal world based on pacifism is slowly being realised, so sit back down on your pink fluffy chair.

In the meantime, our soldiers still need to be kitted out in the best so we can PROTECT our nation from those humans that don't seem to like being pacifists as well. Whether you agree with the reason for the wars or not is a different matter entirely, and as such should be part of a different debate.

"/AC because I dont need the bosses seeing this and figuring out where all the porn is coming from :)"

COMING FROM????

I think you might mean "where all the porn is going to" or "where all the porn requests are coming from"

blimey, do you use your iPod "touch" for more than just browsing, do you?

Paris. Yep.

RE: Is Windows 7 faster then XP?

On a more modern PC where you have more ram, multiple cores and potentially a SSD as your boot hard drive, I would say that Windows 7 is faster than XP.

On low-spec machines? No idea, and I would reason that XP is faster simply because it's more trimmed-down.

I have heard of friends using the Win7 RC on several year old laptops and PCs and it runs like a dream. XP of course would've been just as fast as well.

Nice article, cheers.

I'm somewhat disappointed that Avast didn't opt to be in the trials.

"I can only assume you (the Mr. Stapley) have no clue about PC/Laptop hardware."

What if it costs more for draft-n and less for a smaller CAPACITY hard drive. The physical size is identical, of course, but the costs balance out. Typically a hard drive's capacity is referred to as "size" so young Mr Stapley's suggestion is indeed valid.

"32 bit or 64 bit"

When was the last time you saw 3.5GB of ram in a laptop? Never? Would you rather the laptop only have 2GB and screw over the the power-user that wishes to upgrade to 64-bit or Win7? Indeed.
