Out of the muck.
First, that the "researcher" knew the knew that the .ani file in question would cause problems in no may demonstrates that an average user would. As to telling "all the story," and quoting disclaimers, that's why I posted the link.

Second, if you'll look at the prior posts, what I'm responding to is the comment that asserts that pirates will copy Vista "Because they, like others, want the best." I fail to see how anything that dies when an ordinary user simply tries to use a "malformed cursor" can in any sense be characterised as the "best" of anything.
