    Windows 7 not yet released and it already sucks

    Apparently, windows 7 has a huge design flaw that allows people to take over a computer (physically)before it even boots. Can't say this is looking good, hah, will we see another windows junk OS (a la vista) with w7?

    Vista made me decide that I don't trust microsoft to understand ergonomics.

    Ergo, i don't give a shit about windows 7.

    Haha I read that too just on tweakers.net (Dutch site). At first I was like WTH? Then again, if someone had physical access to my PC.. I'm not securing my PC enough that if someone actually comes to my place and can do whatever he or she damm well pleases with my PC he or she won't get access to it.

    Besides I was always taught that if you have sensitive data on your PC and someone get's physical access to it, your out of luck.

    So for those not completely reading or understanding it lemmie be clear.

    The program the hackers made edits boot files already loaded into the RAM of a PC, think of it as adjusting a program while it's running. This allows the hacker to gain access to the Windows and thus the PC. Though next time the PC is booted up the same process has to be done again since the changes aren't stored to the hard drive (which makes the hack hard to detect but also means the hacker has to be fiddeling with the PC every time). With access to the PC the hacker is able to install a program that allows remote access and control the PC from afar.

    (I hope this was easy to understand)

    If Linux could run the games flawlessly, I wouldn't have windows at all!

    Develop a program that allows games to run easily on Linux then.
