Interesting reading, though I doubt any of this will have much effect on filesharing. Plus, I forsee lots of civil suits from other computer users when their software backfires. Imagine Joe Blow working at some accounting firm, when the RIAA plugs in, and disables their computer by mistake. Thousands of accounts are lost by rebooting their machine.

Sorry, but its not going to happen. Sure makes for some nice propaganda. B)

You've got a point there!

"A more malicious program, dubbed "freeze," locks up a computer system for a certain duration — minutes or possibly even hours "

This happens to me anyway

It's NEVER happened to me since I got windows xp pro. I think I ran into a number of these files, they're getting quite common, maybe we'll all have to use vertifieds for our music downloads, in that case we'd better start donating to their server costs. I am quite sure that my Anti virus program will put a stop to some of the things they throw at me and we'll find ways around the rest.

Agreed. WinXP Pro is impossible to crash. Windows works so much better with lots of RAM.

XP does crash but when it does crash it is something really important.

Heh even linux crashes, yup thats right linux does crash , contrary to popular belief linux can be as unstable as windows, our uni pc&#39;s run red hat and they crash, not very oftern but less than xp and our xp machines rarely ecer go to full on crash. i think that xp is a nice os, it only ever crashes with me when my tv card throws a wobbly and conflicts with my gf4 driver when im messing around with video capture.

did u know that 98se requires only 64megs to run like a dream, give it 128 and its laughing, XP requires 128 min, 256 for a dream and 512 for laughing.
