[Code-Crunchers] Joanna Rutkowska's blue pill and Vista RC2

[Gadi Evron]

Joanna just published a blog entry on this issue, and how her PoC doesn't
work on the new Vista release.

Why, etc.

"It quickly turned out that our exploit doesn't work anymore! The
reason: Vista RC2 now blocks write-access to raw disk sectors for user
mode applications, even if they are executed with elevated administrative
rights."
