One line of html code to crash Winblows
Aloone_Jonez:
Firstly all drivers need to run in ring 0 as NT, Linux, BSD or any kernel that's in the slightest bit decent doesn't allow anything other than ring 0 direct access to the hardware.
Secondly it can't be a graphics driver problem because it affects a verity of graphics cards I for example have a S3 pro savage and have exactly the same symptoms when I click on the link.
It must be a major flaw in the NT kernel or whatever NT uses as instead of the X Window system, there is simply no other way this could affect so many different hardware configurations.
I hope Microsoft do a decent job of fixing it.
Fuck it, I hope everyone gets pissed off with Windows and finds a suitable alternative like Linux, BSD or even BeOS for fuck sake and the industry start to support that OS, but that'll never happen anyway/

Probbaly won't happen, since the vast majority of users will never even know this flaw existed.

I know but it was wishful thinking. :D
Jenda:

Those things you mention are one and the same. The NT kernel is the "X Window system," in that it draws the base graphics. You still need explorer.exe to do anything useful...but still, this flaw must be in the kernel.
