BSOD Makes Appearance at Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday August 12, 2008 @02:23AM from the beacuse-its-august dept.

Whiteox writes "A BSOD was projected onto the roof of the National Stadium during the grand finale to the four-hour spectacular at the Olympics. Lenovo chairman Yang Yuanqing chose to go with XP instead of Vista because of the complexity of the IT functions at the Games. His comment on Vista? 'If it's not stable, it could have some problems,' he said. Evidently Bill Gates attended the opening ceremony, so he must have witnessed it."

I get this screen when my old Dell expiron overheats.
Poor old thing can't manage a virus scan and a Web Page at the same time.
Given the ROCs forgiven and humanetarian nature I wonder which Sysadmin will be donating his internal organs to the Bill and Melissa marketing foundation?

Yes, I know.... It's been a very long time. I don't know why. It might have to do with my user name. (That said, my other user name doesn't get any modpoints either)
Oh, well... I'm not complaining.
I was also more hinting to the fact that you can't get modded past the 5 points for a post, but I should have formulated it differently.
