Just what the Internet needed.....

a Vista botnet!

Wonder how long some hacker will take to figure out an exploit now that its been "outed"? Having the affected files so clearly named makes it a lot easier. His publicised speculation about DHCP was also unwise.

I like Linux yes but Windows desktops dominate the Internet user base and they can work as servers too! Now we get to add Vista to all the other failed Windows versions.

Now lets see how many releases Microsoft will have to make of that file to get it right.
