If you attack me for just posting this, then you are a troll.. a
vista troll. Learn to accept that vista is not perfect... it is very
faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from perfect! Vista is NOT a God to be worshiped!

Windows Vista can be completely killed by pressing a simple combination of
just two keys. All you need to crush Microsoft's latest operating system and
put the much-applauded Wow at an end is two fingers. Thanks to odeeee for
this news.
This issue has been reported independently of Microsoft, and the Redmond
company has failed to issue any official comment at the time of this
article. The immediate question which comes to mind is if the problem is a
security vulnerability or a simple bug.
Either way, you too can watch Windows Vista die in front of your eyes. To
make matters worse, the key combination is one of the most utilized keyboard
shortcuts in Windows. Pressing the Windows key together with "E" will start
Computer in Windows Vista. Keeping the two keys pressed will open a large
volume of Computer windows. Want to crush Windows Vista? Nothing could be
simpler. Just keep the two keys pressed for more than 20 - 30 seconds.
The operating system will begin to behave aberrantly and will continue to
open Computer instances flooding the desktop. There is no way to restore
Vista to its normal self, outside of a reboot. With Computer windows
cascading on your desktop, you will soon find that Task Manager cannot be
accessed. The same is valid for additional processes. You will have to
restart the operating system in order to restore Vista.
"It took millions of dollars to make Windows Vista secure and stable. While
I am happy that Windows Vista is so much stable than Windows XP; there is a
bullet proof way to crash WindowsVista. A simple service which loops a
thousand times while sending Windows Key + E can be written within ten
minutes. Microsoft may have spent millions of dollars for security and
stability; it takes two fingers or a simple service to crash Windows Vista
down. No matter how bullet proof Windows Vista claims to be, two keys to
crash the operating system is a bullet proof approach as well," revealed the
author of the crash method on TechTicles.
In its present form, the bug seems to create nothing more than a Denial of
Service condition. It remains to be seen if it can be exploited remotely or
if it permits code execution. Still, I'd put my money on a bug, rather than
on a security vulnerability.
