And isn't it sad that we have allowed the progress of the internet to slow to a crawl. Microsoft doesn't feel the need to upgrade their networks because not to many have 100mbps connections.

We were promised a 100mbps network by 2009, I don't think were remotely close.

Re: Vista kernel is vulnerable

of course it requires to be an admin

"Unterleitner said administrator privileges are required to execute a program that calls the function containing the flaw, but that doesn't seem like much of a hurdle, since Vista trains its users to click on "OK" to all sorts of security warnings."

if the person is an admin worse thin gs can be done

Re: Vista kernel is vulnerable

Theinquier is always full of shit and Vista bashing.

How does Vista train a person to click ok? If an idiot was using another OS and wanted to click on everything and download everything, they'll still destroy their pc.

Yeah, really not a big deal if you're using Vista the way MS wants you to. I have a password on the admin account, so I'm the only one in the household that can actually install new stuff or update the old stuff. Yes, it's a bit annoying for me, but it prevents less well educated users from installing all kinds of "free" crap they found on the Internet.
