You said -- "... without even a named hacker or unknown exploit to back it up."

Well, who is the named hacker and what is the exploit on that Mac? I haven't heard anything from that hacker and there is nothing on the exploit.

By the way, did you know that I just hacked into your computer with an unknown exploit (very, very few people know about this exploit). I bet that's a surprise to you, too -- huh?

Of course, it wouldn't be "responsible" for me to let anyone know what the exploit was. If I did that, then who knows who else might use it to compromise all those other computers.

Why don't we try a *real test* (instead of all this high-flying rhetoric)... See a real-world test here --

The hacker's name is "gwerdna", thought to possibly be a guy named Andrew G. (reverse) or similar. His exploit was unknown, and not compatible with Windows, but did obviously exist.

If you or reznikj are a hacker, or knows one that has a currently unknown exploit for Windows, you might have a "case in point" that a similar process could actually happen to Windows in a similar circumstance. But calling a hypothetical a "case in point" is clearly a misuse of the meaning and tense of the phrase. Sounds like reznikj should be more concentrating on his studies than making unbackable claims on the internet every night.
