That really depends on who use it. A company like MS would use it to save system info that would like to pass unnoticed to anyone else (like WGA, DRM, Copy protections, or just some system info). A hacker might unleash hell with such hability. |

to wrap it up .... today the OS is superiour to everything it manages all resources of your PC Any typ of program can only do what the OS allows to do But if you can create a program that is "above" the OS it can do really anything to your PC including to hide itself from anything below which includes the OS remember an OS is a program, too |

Well Put! I can imagine that this has to be the potentially worst nightmare for every control freak out there. I can only hope this gets addressed ASAP before the 'how-to' falls into undesirable hands. |

If someone has found an exploit then as soon as MS find out then they will fix it. This type of thing has happened from day 1 and will happen again. Its a part of the software evolution. |

What reality are you in :P Fix it when, in 1-2 yrs? haha There's serious flaws that have been in windows for 5 yrs that M$ knows about, but don't care to fix. This may be a little more urgent obviously, but I'm guessing a few months since they spend most of their time counting money. |
