Microsoft: Windows 7 x64 users may want to turn off Aero for
 

Heads up if you weren't already aware...

Oh come on, you can't be that paranoid... If an actual threat materializes, then I'll start worrying and switch Aero off. What's the point of having Win 7 if you can't use Aero?

Its good that MS is staying on top of things and finding the obscure exploit possibilities long before the hackers do. There's not much to worry about on Windows 7 64bit, all the low hanging fruit from Windows is long gone. Hackers can pick on Macs if they want an easy target. Pro hackers can tear Macs apart in seconds where they can barely phase Vista 64 or Win7 64.

"Writing exploits for Vista is hard work. Writing exploits for Mac is
a lot of fun."

I agree no point in being paranoid.

But if some users are experiencing bsod especially if they are daft enough to open dodgy attachments in emails, visit suspect webpages or down illegitamate warez...it's an option to consider in omitting possibilities.

Daft is a euphemism for doing that. I'd call it incredibly stupid and masochistic. :rolleyes:
