Tech: Interesting New SkyOS GUI

SkyOS demo - I found this demo to be worth watching. This'll probably excite Linux users more than the rest of us, but there are several features I found would probably be useful. From what I understand the OS doesn't support a lot of hardware, but what does work seems to work very well. The active desktop search is quick and useful (this is becoming a standard for all operating systems it seems, and with good reason), and I really like the media player they show.

Tech: WINDOWS WMF VULNERABILITY

Security Now! - I recommend that everyone visit this site as soon as possible and download the patch to this extremely dangerous hole in Windows security. I'll leave it up to Steve Gibson, security guru, to explain what it is as he can do a far better job, but this hole effects all versions of Windows.

MS is working on a patch and may have one out soon, but better to be protected now. This thing exploded amongst hacker communities who were home for the holidays, apparently. Nearly one-hundred instances of this exploit have shown up in mere days.
