Reply #114: Ok, I thought it was going to be my last post on this...

As for appearances: You're saying that images are more important than words - I'm saying be careful how those images can be spun.

As for how to get this story out: As we've seen, the "write it up and post it on Scoop" approach is a mixed bag - lots of eyeballs (even Slashdot!), but little mainstream follow-up. The Johns Hopkins report, as tame and as BBV dismissive as it was, has had the most impact to date. I agree it would be ideal to get a Rubin-type character to break "the big one". The problem is that Windows knowledgeable academics tend to be rare and very conservative, to say the least.

Have you asked Dill et al if they would find someone to at least review a write-up if it came with all supporting proof and code excerpts? I know CERT reviews Windows code all the time – there are academic Windows experts out there. As for me, I've never done any COM remote access programming - I use Java RMI for that kind of work.

It's really a tough nut to crack. Saying "That may be a bad way to go" is not the same as saying "Give up".
