AgentGOD Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Today, Windows Vista has successfully been crashed, after 2 seconds of execution of a malicious program. On Microsoft's behalf, their claim of "the worlds most stable operating system" has proven failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisO Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 (edited) A beta product running beta drivers crashes on YOUR hardware and Microsoft is embarrassed?Congratulations, you have just won troll of the year!Actually if your malicious app caused a system halt this is a prelude to a good thing as it means the Vista kernel is intercepting your attack and prevented it (by halting). When Vista becomes more mature then MS will take the take to actually prevent the attack gracefully.Are you the kind of guy to take a 2008 car, crash it into a telephone pole and call Ford embarrassed because no air bags deployed... oh wait look, the car is not done yet & they haven't installed the air bags.

AgentGOD Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 (edited) Nah, actually, it was crashed successfully on my test machine, by using a malicious program. Which shouldn't happen. After all, Microsoft claimed that Vista is the "most stable and reliable operating system ever". Edited March 13, 2006 by AgentGOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system files were actually corrupted, rendering Windows unable to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scubar Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Its called BETA for a reason you know. Judging by your lack of reading skills that you are just another moron who has gone to a warez site and found it saying windows vista final and thought " WOW im gonna be cool and use vista now" even though you probably have absolutely no idea how to use something like XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfX2 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 @ScubaSteve - even though i agree with what you said, there has to be a nicer way to say it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentGOD Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 (edited) Its called BETA for a reason you know.We all know it's currently in its beta stages. But for Microsoft's oh-so-confident claim that it's rock solid, has proven them wrong so far. Edited March 13, 2006 by AgentGOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 now quite honestly, you know what's the best part of people writing and releasing malicious programs for a beta OS that's still in development? It usually means they won't have an affect by the time a final is released.I know i've done this a few times for things i've written. I also noticed you didn't make mention of what build you were using, or what you crashed it with. Heck, anyone can screw up anything with a few right commands regardless of security.

RogueSpear Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) Anything is crashable given the right code. Ostensibly, if you were running antivirus, antispyware, and were using DEP hardware, the files wouldn't have been corrupted. If you're running as root in any OS this can happen. You can only go so far in protecting people from themselves. Edited March 14, 2006 by RogueSpear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
