Oh My...

Why am I not surprised it is a windows product that gets nailed with this exploit. I do not like WMA because of the way it does track tags. Ogg, and Ape ate my favorites.

Re: Oh My...

It isn't an exploit.

Its misuse of a known feature.

That's MS for you. Create useless features, forget useful features.

Re: Oh My...

Useless to who? Maybe to you but I am sure there are lots of people that use the features in Windows that you might think are useless and visa versa.

If you don't like them remove or disable it. Simple.

And there is a difference from the end user's point of view?

Re: Oh My...

Of course.

One can be easily and totally prevented by using menus etc.

The other requires patchs and more advanced to fix.
