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.
Open Windows Vista windows explorer by hitting Windows Key and the letter E. Try holding both keys down for 3 seconds and it is annoying. Try holding the key down to 5 seconds and its f**k up. How about holding down the key for 30 seconds? Windows Vista would crash similar to what happened to my computer a while ago.
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.
