As Windows 7 is getting closer to its launch day, more and more eyes are turning towards it. Compatibility, security or stability issues are hunted down by Microsoft and testers around the world, so that none slips in the final version.
One possible bug has been recently spotted, labeled as “major” by its finder or “critical” by other voices, and it is said to be capable of altering the launch of the client.
Ryan Price details the bug on his blog: “this particular issue looks strangely out of place and makes you wonder how exactly this passed through validation:
To Reproduce:
1. Run an elevated CMD prompt
2. Run CHKDSK /r
3. With task manager open, you should see your memory quickly gobbled away in the chkdsk.exe process until it either stops at or around 90% or it maxes completely out and crashes the computer.”
