The blogosphere is abuzz over a newly publicized bug in Windows 7. I read about it yesterday on Chris123NTs blog, where it was described as a critical bug in Windows 7 RTM. The story picked up momentum today when InfoWorlds Randall Kennedy (the man behind the Save XP Astroturf campaign) published a sensational polemic: Critical Windows 7 bug risks derailing product launch. Tom Warren at Neowin called it rather nasty but sensibly concluded that its far from a show stopper.
My conclusion? Its alarming behavior if youre unaware of whats happening. But when you look more carefully, its arguably a feature, not a bug, and the likelihood that youll ever crash a system this way is very, very small and completely avoidable.
