Microsoft Hosting “Blue Screen of Death” Screensaver
A timely news item given that a certain someone impersonated the venerable Blue Screen Of Death for Halloween (don’t worry, I’m not posting the pictures … yet :-). Apparently you can download a BSOD screensaver from microsoft.com that not only displays the chilling blue frame, but all the info is taken from your system so that “its accuracy will fool even advanced NT developers.”
Use Bluescreen to amaze your friends and scare your enemies!

hmm…this just put a really wicked idea into my head ;-)
Go May! lol
The crazy thing is that Microsoft has somehow conviced everyone that it’s *ok* for a Blue Screen of Death. If Linux or OSX kernal panics, users get pissed off, engineers get pissed of, code is fixed, and the world gets better. When Windows panics, its totally expected, people keep using their same buggy OS, and in fact, its funny! Here, have a screen saver to celebrate that you lost all your work!
