TECH: Vista ain’t immune to old problems

I understand that the old w95 bug is back in vista. A forged packet basically asking the new stack about itself with its own address causes the meltdown of the ip stack. I love it. It was a problem in w95 and fixed. Vista brags it has a completely rewritten ip stack and “recoded” the old error.

IMHO to rewrite an ip stack from scratch and make the exact same error has a zero probability. SO being the old skeptic I am, I don’t believe that it’s been rewritten!
