I think something neat would be if somebody found an exploit in Windows' wireless stack.  Write a worm for it that spreads by walking near somebody who is infected.  Release it quietly, and track the geographical progress.  It would be just like a people virus. :)

Thats genius
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Alternatively, you could find an exploit in any Windows (or any OS for that matter) component and have it spread exclusively via wireless.

True, but then you have to start wondering if firewalls are enabled (which is pretty common with SP2).

How about exploiting Windows update so it downloads the virus directly onto your PC via Microsoft! Thanks!

Yeah, but that would have nothing to do with geographical spreading and attempting to replicate human virus patterns, which is what this was about. 

Anyway, even Microsoft has some brains.  The only logical way to do this is by screwing with the DNS resolution, and I doubt Windows will automatically update without the proper certificate.  Although if I know Windows it would probably pop up a confirmation, "Are you sure you want to get hacked? yes/no"....

Haha that's funny, I watched an Video on Channel9 today and the interviewer asked "Why do you turn security settings off by default". The guy paused for a bit laughed then said that they are no longer taking that approach, they say it's on by default now in Vista and future services they have (Security in general).

Regular people who interview Microsoft devs..
None of those people work for Microsoft, Microsoft just lets them tour around the HQ doing interviews about latest technologies. Once in a while those shocker questios pop up, the ones everyone is thinking but no one ever asks.
