The Vista bug that will never be fixed
Posted August 20th, 2006 at 9:18pm by Electronic Punk
When I was installing the July CTP of Windows Vista, something horrible happened. Summer basically. Not a big fan of it at all, you are expected to go outside instead of being a geek.
Summer also brings bugs, I have no problem with them as long as they don't interfere with me, but that is rarely the case. Flies seem to have an addiction to skin and storm bugs seem to have an addiction to TFT monitors.
Not only was my 19" Dell TFT infected by a bug, but my newly aquired top of the range (that range atleast) Dell D610 become infected by the vicious stormbug exploit as well.
Pretty frustrating really and destroyed the good vibes I was getting about the last build, perhaps why I am so eager to get the next thing Connect throws at us. But I know the bug will still be there.
Don't tell Dell (hah!) but I took my laptop apart as much as I could, I really don't see how he could have got in there. Perhaps I am partly to blame, he was just trying to traverse the barren land of desktop and in an effort to remove the dust from the screen I inadvertently crushed him. Bugger.
What can we do to prevent this happening in the future? Patches, preferably patches made from selotape. But in the meantime I have taken to using dark wallpapers to hide the body of my victim.
