Microsoft's *REAL* Response
That Microsoft Guy:
You are all mistaken. What is referred to as the ALPC bug is actually an obfuscated feature that we put in at the request of the NSA. It allows a user to gain system level privileges without having the the password to the Administrator account. It is to be used by users to perform admin tasks on the machine without actually bothering the admin. Eventually, we plan on expanding this feature so that the end users will be able to administer the networks they are connected to without needing a password. Therefore, lazy system administrators will be rendered redundant and can be laid off saving the company the unneeded expense of paying a dedicated person to administer the network.
So what can possibly go wrong?
