    Anybody have a problem an album with 2CD song bugs?

    It's a bug that's literally over a decade old Windows Media bug that got introduced in the kernel switch between WP7 and WP8. Microsoft seems to have no intention to fix it in any of its products.

    Can't connect Wii to Mobile hotspot

    Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I have no control over the router settings. I am connected to my university's network. In fact, the reason why I cannot connect my Wii directly to the network is because the Nintendo Wii is blocked by the university,
    probably for security purposes since the Wii is a decade old. I thought I would be able to bypass this. Apparently not.

    Can ordinary users use this bug to take control of their own machines?

    All "hackers" already know about this bug, it's for us normal users that it's useful to know
    so we can at least be aware of the risk.

    Nice. Leave it open as a security hole and let everyone know.

    Do you honestly believe that it was just uncovered by a website like ZDNet for the first time?

    No, but either way this just confirms that M$ isnt going to do anything to take care of it. They said it themselves.

    Decade-old Windows kernel bug lets hackers bypass security protections

    On the blog itself,

    "Given the recent attention to this post, we’ll release the 2nd part very soon. It details a workaround for this bug, again, not a vulnerability."


    Doesn't sound like much of an issue to me and perhaps why Microsoft isn't too worried about fixing it.
