I WANT a security hole in Windows!!

Raymond Chen has a pretty good blog called 'the old new thing', this blog is partly based on his style. One of his common issues he, as an ms developer comes across, is 'people who ask for security holes' and its worth reading to get an idea of how misguided some peoples idea of security is.

In a similar vien I had a conversation that went like this:
'User x has changed the local admin password and removed domain adminstrators from local admins, how can I get admin access to the machine?'

When I semi patiently explained that such an ability would be a security hole and thst, generally speaking, you don't allow end users to be so disruptive he exploded 'Well, I'll bet MS has such a tool somewhere'.

Yes, Of course they do and I'll bet its called hack-my-pc-v1.exe

This is, of course, the very same sort of person who complains loudly about security holes when MS release patches.
