It just sounds so funny how the Graphics Rendering Engine could allow remote
access to your Windows based system and gain control over it. You would
expect it from one of the Newtorking protocols or the Web browser. Next it
will be a security floor in the Desktop icons which will allow a hacker to
compromise the system. Crikey here comes another reboot I suppose.

Maybe they should re-write Windows from the ground up this time, instead of
from the ground to underground.
