Sorry, you're totally wrong. Email Joanna herself. She'll tell you that
Blue Pill works against any OS. Or read her words:
http://theinvisiblethings.blogspot.com/2006/06/introducing-blue-pill.html
"I would like to make it clear, that the Blue Pill technology does not
rely on any bug of the underlying operating system. I have implemented a
working prototype for Vista x64, but I see no reasons why it should not be
possible to port it to other operating systems, like Linux or BSD which
can be run on x64 platform."
Good luck trying to argue with Joanna about her own root kit.
What was that you were saying about this being a sensible post?
Roger said:Hey Im, if you want to claim it was munged text then next time how
about not using the "" quotes.
I did not bother to follow the link as I had already seen pdf of the last
talk at BH, I had seen a couple 3rd-hand digestions already, and I did
give you credit that the "" quotes intended to be just that.

Get a grip; does anyone remember those pop-ups saying "some files can harm
your computer"? Does anyone remember what the user clicked next??
If this is what Microsoft calls "taking security seriously", I can only
hope everyone out there has got a alternative security plan (like I do).
It's absurd to say Vista is the most secure o/s from Microsoft. At this
point in time, it's no different to all the rest.

That post was based on the article "Blue Pill Leaves Vista Vulnerable" by
Techtree news staff. Listen, see how the text "has been compromised" is a
different color: that's a link. How long have you been surf'n the web????

standard user accounts created during the install. If you want a standard
user you have to create one. I sincerely hope you are right about the
final release.

I think Karl's referring to this:

[Okay, so it's a blatant plug for my blog, but it links to the Vista
UAC blog article on making all user accounts after the first one as
restricted.]

imhotep said:Roger, you do not need to be a professional web surfer to see the link in
the paragraph. Just typing that sentence reminds me of how useless this
conversation is. Please, stick to topics related to the post...I think we
all would benefit...I think we all should.

Roger said:Once again illustrating that you do not read, or at best read what
you wish to see, or that you cannot communicate what you intend.
You quoted, then claimed it was munged.
You certainly cannot believe or expect that everyone will follow a
link just because you have indicated you believe it worthwhile.
