Vulnerabilities in USB drivers for Windows could allow an attacker to take control of locked workstations using a specially programmed Universal Serial Bus device, according to an executive from SPI Dynamics, which discovered the security hole. However, SPI tested attacks on Windows systems, but any operating system that is USB-compliant is probably vulnerable.

Member since:Not to beat a dead horse son, but as the poster in the previous post has written, as I did earlier, Windows is not multi-user.
Don't take my word for it. ANY kernel developer will tell you it's not a true multi-user OS. Go on the Linux or FreeBSD kernel list and try to tell them Windows is multi-user. You'll get the same thing I told you in my first post:
"Windows emulates multi-usability via profiling support and via emulation of RDP or other Citrix type mechanisms" to put it very simply without getting into resource forking or other OS permutations that are beyond the scope of this discussion.
You don't have to believe that I'm 'me'. and I really don't care son, however you stated that Windows was multi-user and I corrected that misinformation that Microsoft won't even put on their website but they allow to persist.
As far as being 'certified', I'm sure my wife will say I am. However you're posting anonymously on this board telling me what I must do? *laughing*
At least I put my name on my posts. I'm not here to impress you son, just state the facts and make observations as others have done.
If you don't like being corrected I'm sorry. My best guess is you might like to speak to a professor at your local university that specializes in operating system design and ask him questions.
Anyway, back to family for breakfast. (I'm always mentioning food here on this board.... hmmmm.....) My oldest two kids are only going to be around for a few more years before they get into college so I might as well enjoy the summer with them.
Take Care,
Nick

"Now you know who I am." No we don't. The whole point is that you could be someone claiming to be Nick Donovan. Even assuming Nick Donovan is an authority, that doesn't mean *you* are since we don't know who you are. "Still, your name doesn't bring anything to your arguing without being certified somehow" seems pretty straightforward..
