Even without deliberate abuse by malware, the homeland security implications
of an external agent being empowered to turn off your IT infrastructure in
response to a content leak discovered in some chipset that you
coincidentally happen to be using is a serious concern for potential Vista
users. Non-US governments are already nervous enough about using a
US-supplied operating system without having this remote DoS capability built
into the operating system.
It is rather trivial to counter this remote switch-off
capability. Just don't connect it to the internet.
Don't update the OS anymore. Get another machine with
another OS for this purpose
