Wow how can Microsoft put out something like this what happened to QA testing lol instead of making it harder to read protected memory it made it exponentially easier to read protected memory.
I can see class action lawsuits over this..

In before "It was a ploy to get people to switch to Windows 10".

But seriously, there's been several discussions on this over on reddit and it's also affecting Server 2008 so that's nice.

Apparently MS has replaced their entire coding staff with monkeys. I'm betting it's a test of infinite monkey theory.

Wow this just keeps getting better according Intel and AMD also Microsoft older cpus will not be patched for specter-meltdown due to lack of support from motherboard mfg companies.
