Vista Launch Party Security January 30, 2007

Just after Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer finished the official launch announcement, I went to check out a few of the PCs on display that were running Windows Vista. So I strolled over to this laptop and was wondering how to log on when I noticed the handy piece of tape at the bottom of the keyboard with all the users and passwords. No matter how good the operating system gets, some users will never change. –Noah Robischon

Awesome. I guess we just answered John Steward's question to Bill.
You’re so right – some things will never change. As a Business contractor I have walked in to many companies and I never cease to be amazed at how almost all companies set up their systems passwords (the majority of which are so blindingly obvious it belies belief). That said, as obvious as they are, I still find myself forgetting them (or, worse still, having to write them down someplace just as is the case in this post as I have so many of them). Roll on the series implementation of biometrics!
Haha, you can login to AOL with that username and password. There was an adult friend finder confirmation email, sent from London in there. Odd huh!
