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."

They're called a "Comp Lusa" costomer ;)
Seriously though those cheap $500 systems from worst buy, comp lusa, circuit shitty etc.. will BSOD daily if you re-enable blue screens. the ram, or the psu, or the dvd-burner will cause most of them, usually when the dvd-burner can't draw enough power from the 230 watt psu they've got in there it'll cause a nice solid blue screen. sometimes it'll go away, but hey... you only paid $500 for the pos craputer... and it came with monitor printer, etc etc..

But it's not restricted to complusa users, sadly I have a board from asus thats total crap, and will kernel panic linux in about 4 hours (less if you run gimp filters the whole time) and bsods windows if you try to game on it... *sigh* buying a computer without researching it is just plain stupid. I read 2 stupid review sites that take bribes and call that 'research enough' and get suckered into the crappiest motherboard purchase ever ;) ah well.. the board Does overclock pretty good ;) well as good as it runs non-overclocked anyways...
