My favorite *Windows is a fragile, vulnerable construct* article of late: **Unlock Windows Computers Via Firewire** http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/04/1258210&threshold=4&mode=nested#22634954 Note: The article title (especially the one I gave it) is hyperbole: ANY OS is vulnerable; it is the nature of IEEE 1394. http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/04/1258210&threshold=4&mode=nested#22634790 Indeed, an OS doesn't even need to be running to implement this (useful) technique; it even works when the OS of the target machine is BSoD'd / Kernel Panic'd: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/04/1258210&threshold=4&mode=nested#22637000
