Yes, I've Windows 7, so nothing happened.
In some cases, my signature will be longer then my message...

3 Interesting Facts About Microsoft Windows 1. You Can't Create A Folder Named "Con". At least, some people can't. 2. Write The Following Text Into Notepad: "Bush Hid The Facts" Save the file and see what happens. 3. Open Microsoft Word And Type =Rand(200, 99) And Press Enter. Even in Office 2013. How'd this happen?
The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is SILENCE, the second is LISTENING, the third MEMORY, the forth, PRACTICE and the fifth is TEACHING others!

I did not see anyting happening for No. 2. One more intesting fact in Windows 7: If you type correct credentials during login, you are in right away. However, if you type a wrong password, it takes much longer time to get a message back.

I think it's because when you log on your machine cached credentials are checked first. If no cached credentials are found, then the normal conversation with SAM is taking place and it is more time taking.

That's an intentional 1980's era security feature, and you're glad it does that :) It's to increase the time it takes to try invalid passwords, thereby reducing the effectiveness of brute force attacks by trying different passwords at the login prompt.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

That is an interesting approach, simple and effective. I assume that Windows did not have a way to lock down the machine after a number of atempts at that time.

They could lock you out permenently, but a total lockout was probably deemed too inconvenient. The compromise appears to have been to add a longer delay (5-10 seconds) if you try enough incorrect passwords, also 1980's era standard practice, and still in there today. Like you said, simple, but effective, but only at frustrating brute force cracking. Nobody even tries that anymore, but if they took it out, somebody probably would :)

Re: In some cases, my signature will be longer then my messge... In this instance, your signature has more spelling errors than your message :)
Oops, I didn't notice that! Thank you!
