Wow. Could they be more transparent? This couldn't have anything to do with Direct X, could it?

- jimbobimbo 15y agoIt's not about whether it could affect Direct X or not - one game crashing your GPU due to some unintentional bug code (there's no incentive on game publisher's side to make it intentional) is not the same as the Web, where anybody can push something to your browser that exploits hole in some graphics card driver. Microsoft has a point. They do not explain, however, how Silverlight is invincible in the same situation.
- bmm6o 15y agoExactly. TFA: "Attacks that may have previously resulted only in local elevation of privilege may now result in remote compromise."
- Hov 15y agoI'm almost certain Silverlight's Pixel Shaders don't run on the GPU. I have no proof of this other than that they're pretty slow, hence my conclusion.
