Longhorn: Fewer BSODs, More RSODs

Posted by timothy on from the more-colors-still-available dept.

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."

    You would think that instead of changing the look of what happens when you get a critical error, they would fix to stupid critical flaws that cause these errors. This is like saying to the public, "We haven't fixed any of the problems but when your computer gets fried by Longhorn you can have a different page instead of that old tired Blue Screen that we know you have seen so much."

    I see BSODs a lot, almost daily, on Windows XP.

    Well, yeah. Evidently, some people lack the knowledge/skill to set up an XP box correctly.

    And evidently some people can't grasp that it isn't supposed to require significant knowledge or skill to set it up correctly.
