Microsoft confirms 'detailed' Windows 7 exploit

"Microsoft has issued a security advisory to acknowledge a crippling denial-of-service flaw affecting its newest operating systems — Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2."

"Exploit code for the vulnerability was released by researcher Laurent Gaffié after failed attempts to get Microsoft’s security response center to acknowledge that this was an issue that needs to be patched"

^ Don't be ridiculous! Windows XP also has its fair share of bugs...

There's no such thing as 'bug-free' software.

You might as well upgrade and reap the many benefits of Windows 7.

No, no, stay with XP since it's only getting updates to the most serious threats right now...staying with this legacy operating system will help create job security for hackers.
