-SLIGHTYLY OFF TOPIC BUT MEH-

Theres a teacher in my school, who's knee-deep in mac world she forgot to come out of 1997 and realise windows DIDNT run on DOS. I tried saying 'XP Uses the Windows NT kernel, so theres no dos in it.. she wouldn't take it. Classic. She bought a MBP 16 days before the Unibodys too...

The UAC bypassing exploit still works on 7 RTM. I've tested it on this box, which runs 7 RTM.

i'm running the final version of windows 7 64bit right now ... and its pretty good from what i can see. I havn't had a chance to hack into it yet though..

[Wack0]

I run w7 RTM 32bit, and the UAC bug still works. (i've tested it, all that's different is that AVs flag the main 32bit exploit executable.useless because src was provided IIRC)

Are the exploits that are known for Windows 7 including all the versions including the retail or upgrade versions?

[TJ_2k7]

If an exploit works in the Retail version, it'll work in the Previous builds.
The upgrade version is the same OS as the fresh installation version.
And unlike Vista, Windows 7 version like Ultimate, Home premium can be installed from the same disc but you just choose what version you install at the start. You need the correct serial key for that version thought obviously.
I believe they are the same OS except features are disabled/enabled accordingly.

Thanks for the info, do you happen to know any of the current exploits that are known for the retail version of Windows 7? I will switching over completely soon and I am curious as to the security state of Windows 7. Thanks again for the info.

[TJ_2k7]

I'm not quite sure.
There are probably a few exploits out there but I'm pretty sure Windows 7 is as Secure, if not more secure, than Vista or XP.

[heebyjeebys]

windows 7 is pretty secure i would say
its like vista but with 'less' security
at least it doesnt' nagg you every 10 seconds
'are you sure you want to press the spacebar' yes im fucking sure!

LOL, nice to see you haven't changed heeby!!!!
How I missed your sarcasm!!!

Windows 7 is, according to MS, the most secure OS from MS yet!!!
I'm not entirely sure, I haven't used it alot myself, but a few mates are using it and they say it is extremely fast and really good, better than XP and if it's better then XP then it's definetely better than Vista.
Although, one if them is using Windows 7 64-bit and he HATES it, he says it's crap!!!
