Crash Windows Vista by Pressing Just 2 Keys
Just try it
Wednesday, July 25, 2007 by Mithun Pal | Discussion: Windows Vista
Windows Vista can be completely killed by pressing a simple combination of just two keys. All you need to crush Microsoft's latest operating system and put the much-applauded Wow at an end is two fingers. The immediate question which comes to mind is if the problem is a security vulnerability or a simple bug.
Either way, you too can watch Windows Vista die in front of your eyes. To make matters worse, the key combination is one of the most utilized keyboard shortcuts in Windows. Pressing the Windows key together with "E" will start 'Computer' in Windows Vista. Keeping the two keys pressed will open a large volume of Computer windows. Want to crush Windows Vista? Nothing could be simpler. Just keep the two keys pressed for more than 20 – 30 seconds.
In its present form, the bug seems to create nothing more than a Denial of Service condition. It remains to be seen if it can be exploited remotely or if it permits code execution.

That's clever...coming on a Microsoft partner site and boldly announcing you have a non-genuine copy of Windows XP. - starkers
So blatantly obvious.
Thank you for pointing it out and stealing my thunder.
Perhaps you will receive corporate brownie points.
Ooh! I think that is Microsoft's Executive knocking at my door right now!
I'm wetting my pants with anticipation!
Bill!
Bill!
Is that you? Coming for my non-genuine hard drive?
Certainly, Starkers, I will call you from jail soon. Would you post my bail?
I'm so scared!
Comfort me!

Anyone using pirated software will be removed from the site.
As has been said, this site is owned by a software company (and Microsoft partner) and abuse of software licensing will not be tollerated.

Select one of desktop shortcuts to a giant program such as Word. Press and hold Enter button. One button crash!
