>(abort something or other) but that doesn't seem to be a very important...

Unimportant, but very amusing.  Let's see.. as I, bad programmer, understand it.....

There's been this "graphics" format around since at least Win3. 
It's really just as much a program as a data repository - a kind of
"object" with its own rules, but from the procedural era.  There
are all sorts of WMFs - hundreds of simple ones clutter Word's clipart
alone.  And the API hands Joe Bozo, Coder Ignoto, an error handler that
lets him put in his own priv'd code.  If Joe's a sh*t, he deliberately
throws any old error, then "handles" you by the short hairs, if
you're running as admin.

Hey guys - let's just run "Hello, World" in Ring 0 and have done
with it.  Why play Russian roulette with one live round out of six, if you
can fill all the chambers and have more fun.
