How to kill Vista by holding down two keys

published on July 14th, 2007 . by joe

I do agree that Vista is more stable than XP and that as long as you don’t mind the heavy hardware requirements and the pre-infection of the system with DRM, it’s a good option but no operating system can be completely bulletproof.  Kez News [ads on site are NSFW] is reporting that in order to completely lock the system up to the point of requiring a reboot all that is required is to hold down the windows key and the ‘e’ key at the same time for about 20-30 seconds.  This doesn’t sound like a security vulnerability.  It’s just a bug but it shows that any OS needs to be beat around a bit before it can be declared even moderately stable.
