Held in Dubai yesterday the HITB (Hack In The Box) security conference, security researchers demonstrated how to use the code to use the design of Windows 7’s invasion of the operating system.

Nitin Kumar and Vipin Kumar of common R & D VBootkit 2.0 software, the software can be the start of Windows 7 to seize control systems, and other flaws, this is the birthright of Windows 7, “it can not be repaired, it is Windows 7 design problems. “Vipin said that the Windows 7 start of the design process.

Vipin said, VBootkit 2.0 procedures only 3KB, hackers can change the system boot time to load the document in memory, since it does not make any changes to hard disk file, making it difficult to be detected, but after this restart your computer security issues will be eliminated, because in the resumption of the process of system memory was empty.

Although VBootkit can be used to control the computer, but it does not pose a threat to the broader context, because hackers access to victims must be the actual computer can be attacked, and can not use the software for remote attacks.

Once the invasion VBootkit 2.0 system, hackers can change the access rights to the highest level, you can clear the user password and access the victim’s documents, and the original password can also be restored, so that victims do not know their own security system had been hacked .

As its name, VBootkit 2.0 is the second edition of the software, in 2007 the first edition of the demonstrations have been used to plug a loophole in Vista’s invasion system.

So far, Microsoft has not issued a public statement on the matter.

Microsoft has restated that its next milestone release for Windows 7 will be the Release Candidate test of the OS and not a second beta.

The software giant’s Windows development boss Steve Sinofsky said in an official blog post on Saturday that there will only be one beta of Windows 7.

Many will see that reaffirmation as a clear sign that the Vista successor may land at some time in 2009. Some have predicted that Windows 7 could arrive as early as the third quarter of this year.

However, Microsoft is sticking characteristically to its guns about when it will let the operating system loose by remaining silent on when it expects to ship Windows 7.

“The obvious question is that we know the pre-beta was October 28, 2008, and the beta was January 7th, so when is the Release Candidate and RTM? The answer is forthcoming,” said Sinofsky.

“We are currently evaluating the feedback and telemetry and working to develop a robust schedule that gets us the right level of quality in a predictable manner.

“Believe me, we know many people want to know more specifics. We’re on a good path and we’re making progress. We are taking a quality-based approach to completing the product and won’t be driven by imposed deadlines.”

Partners are continuing to receive builds from MS, said Sinofsky, who also insisted that making the operating system a successful release involved collaboration industry-wide.

Microsoft first announced its decision to only release one beta of the OS at the Professional Developers Conference in October last year, when it dished out a pre-beta version of Windows 7 to attendees at the event.

Sinofsky reiterated the firm’s delivery plan: First to provide a public beta – which arrived on 7 January – followed by a release candidate build, after which the product should RTM. But it’s unclear at this stage whether the RC build will be made available to public or private testers.

Microsoft released windows 7 for testing purpose only on last January 9th, 2009. I am one of them who downloaded it. I tried to install on both of my PC and laptop but with no luck. I had problems on both that Windows 7 did not start properly (blank black screen) after successfully installation. Successfully installation? huh. Those problems solved when I install Windows 7 on VmWare. Surprised? It comes with few applications since it released as testing purpose. I don’t have plan to use Windows 7 right now. Thinking of why they released Vista? Now I’m happy with oldie XP and Vista. This is the snapshot from Windows 7 in VMWare.

You can download Windows 7 from Windows 7 official site. Remember that Microsoft limits download to 2.5 millions downloads.
