Gee, some joker gives out local accounts to anybody who asks, uses no firewall, and gets burned. And the windows droids go wild.

Completely amazing. As someone else said, this is a stunt, not a hack.

No, as I pointed out on the other thread, that merely makes it into a local exploit, rather than a remote exploit. You should not be able to compromise the machine merely by logging in - the fact that you can do so means there is a hole somewhere.
