It has recently been found that you can overwhelm, freeze, then crash Windows Vista by just holding down two keys.
“Either way, you too can watch Windows Vista die in front of your eyes. To make matters worse, the key combination is one of the most utilized keyboard shortcuts in Windows. Pressing the Windows key together with “E” will start Computer in Windows Vista. Keeping the two keys pressed will open a large volume of Computer windows. Want to crush Windows Vista? Nothing could be simpler. Just keep the two keys pressed for more than 20 - 30 seconds.”
I did try it on my laptop just for the hell of it and sure enough, after a mere 5 seconds of holding, I had a little over 30 windows open. I expect that Microsoft will have this patched up in the near future. The person coding Vista that day must have had a hard morning after a late night.
