Longhorn: Fewer BSODs, More RSODs
Jan Theofel writes "Windows Loghorn will present you less BSOD. Joi Ito reports that Windows Longorn will get additional ROSD (red screen of death) for 'really bad errors.' So you will get less BSOD but some new RSOD. You can find a ROSD screenshot in a virtual machine in his weblog entry."
that would be "aren't even using developers who know English".
It depends on if you're using American or British Commonwealth grammar.
American grammar treats corporate entities as a single being ("Microsoft is changing the color of the screen"), Commonwealth countries treat them as a group of people ("Microsoft are changing the colour of the screen").

Anyways, rice_burners_suck, please listen to me. Not that it's really related to this thread.
I installed Windows XP a while ago; you know, Windows XP?
Well anyways there were an insane number of preloading applications built in there, and I couldn't log in.
Then, I looked at the back of the box, and it had "Now with Service Pack 2" written on it.
Oh, the stupidity. Those idiots.
You, don't install Windows just because it's got Service Pack 2, fool.
It's only Service Pack 2, THE SECOND OF MULTIPLE SERVICE PACKS for crying out loud.
There're even companies buying it. Company of 4000 employess, all ghosting images of Windows on their boxes, huh? How fucking nice.
"Alright, Norton's gonna send a 20 GB image over the wire." God I can't bear to watch.
You people, I'll give you a damn CD of Service Pack 2 for FREE if you stop jumping on this bandwagon.
Windows should be an OS stained with the blood of Microsoft's corporate conquests.
That tense atmosphere, where two guys on opposite sides of the Open-Source battle can start a fight at any time,
the stab-or-be-stabbed mentality, that's what's great about this place.
Small businesses and K-12 school districts should screw off and stay with XP Home.
Anyways, I was about to wipe the drive, and then the bastard beside me goes "Express install, with the firewall."
Who in the world installs the Windows Firewall nowadays, you moron?
I want to ask him, "do you REALLY want to install that firewall?"
I want to interrogate him. I want to interrogate him for roughly an hour.
Are you sure you don't just want to try saying "ICMP"?
Coming from a Windows veteran such as myself, the latest trend among us vets is this, third-party applications.
That's right, third-party applications. This is the vet's way of computing.
Third-pary applications means more functionality than security. But on the other hand the stability is a tad lower. This is the key.
And then, it's powerful. This is unbeatable.
However, if you try this then there is danger that you'll be marked by Microsoft's authorization during Windows Update from next time on; it's a double-edged sword.
I can't recommend it to amateurs.
What this all really means, though, is that you, rice_burners_suck, should just stick with Mac OS 7.
