Microsoft 8 Is a Trojan Horse

Microsoft says that if you press f1 while browsing, you might find your PC taken over by a remote attacker:
Microsoft says that the nature of the vulnerability is tied to “the way VBScript interacts with Windows Help Files when using Internet Explorer.” Unless and until that vulnerability gets patched, the workaround to protect yourself is simply to avoid using the F1 key.
I don't know, but I am really struggling to resist trying this out! Do you think some disgruntled MS employee wrote that in there for kicks?
