Serious flaw discovered in Windows Vista's Explorer

http://www.activewin.com/awin/commen...ineIndex=42119

At a time where everyone is anxiously awaiting the upcoming service pack for
Windows Vista (and while others flock back to Windows XP in droves), yet
another flaw in the Windows Vista operating system has been discovered that
can bring the Windows shell ("Windows Explorer") to its knees within 20
seconds. Even worse, this issue occurs under every day usage of the
operating system if you use the Search function regularly with boolean
search operators.

1. Click on Start, and then click on Documents.

2. In the Search entry box, type "NOT Shortcut" (without the quotes).

3. Click on the "Save Search" button and save the search query as "Search
Test".

This has been confirmed as a flaw in Windows Vista (all editions) and
Windows Vista 64-bit (all editions), and even worse, the issue still occurs
on the latest release candidate for Service Pack 1. The bigger question is,
will Microsoft step up to the plate and fix this issue or will they let it
pass on by while they work heavily on Windows "7", ignoring the fact that
Windows Vista still has flaws and inconsistancies that are seeing larger
companies hold back deployment until 2009 or even skip Vista?

Who in their right mind wants to type "NOT Shortcut"
lol.

For example you may write "vista stinks" and the pc may explode in your
face! lol

Or you might write "I am bill gates" and it might start printing money :-)

Windows can be programmed too. One could create a program to let windows
crash

"Doctor, it hurts when I do this."

"Then don't do that."

You need to go back to that cardboard space ship in your mom's garage,
capin' crunch cause it has more of a chance of flying than you have of
making any sense about Vista.
Loser.

OR, YOU could type in "I am an idiot troll" and it will say yes...you are.

There are exploits in every system. Any OS can be crashed. If you do not
know this, you haven't been around computers very long. Perhaps THIS is the
case...hmmmmm?
