from slashdot. apparently, according to some security experts, the WMF problems in windows look to be the kind of thing that could only be an intentional backdoor into windows systems. kinda spooky.

in other words, your windows computer is vulnerable to having anyone in the world, including microsoft, the government, terrorists, and even spanish inquisitors, run whatever code they want to on your machine without your knowledge much less your permission. This includes viruses, trojan horses, keystroke loggers, even GTA:SA. And it looks very much like its not this way because some nubnuts forgot to end a line with a semicolon...but because somebody intentionally wrote the dll that views wmf graphics files to treat a special case of mal-formed wmf graphics files in this way.

If M$ would put this in Windows on purpose, what fun things might they be conspiring to put in the Fritz chip?

Someday, only crackers will be truly free.
