Ars Technica, this is NOT news, nothing to do with Windows today

NOT news at all. Besides, this is a Windows XP screenshot!

Ars Technica, caterer to the "alpha geeks" technologists and IT professionals, published today this article which may be misleading specially for some unsuspecting Windows users who don't know better. First of all, the whole article is mostly dedicated to explain "how broken the widely used MD5 hashing algorithm is" that is, the cryptographic mechanism to provide some assurance that a transferred file (read, downloaded software, update, etc.) has arrived intact. Secondly, this is old news under the guise of breaking news (?); something that happened in 2012 and 2007, according to the article. Just read about this subject in a Wikipedia article citing that "in 2012, according to Microsoft, the authors of the Flame malware used an MD5 collision to forge a Windows code-signing certificate" and the issue goes back to 1996 (!). And how is this "news" related to Amazon Cloud, again? Last, BUT NOT LEAST, the flashy screenshot corresponds to the phased out Windows XP (!). Obviously you can always find flaws in old software, but that is not news!
