Just when you thought it was safe to go back into Windows. Well, apparently there is a zero day vulnerability with Windows 7.

At least at the moment there is no fix. ZDnet writes that, “the flaw in Windows 7 could allow an attack which would cause a critical system error, or “Blue Screen of Death”, according to researcher Laurent Gaffie. Gaffie added that the flaw lies in a Server Message Block 2 (SMB2) driver. Read the article.
this is great does this apply to ill eagle copies
Not sure about illegal copies, but the tests are legal ones.

No Microsoft eagles will be harmed, thankfully. If you have an ill eagle, please take it your vet immediately.
Last time I heard, Microsoft is not going into the vet business. Who knows after Windows 7. Let’s pray and hope not.
