BSOD Makes Appearance at Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Posted by CmdrTaco on 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."

    The purpose of QA/Testing IS to make the machine crash. If you crash it - it's faulty and needs repair. If you can't crash it, it's good to go. It's called Burn-in.

    I can only assume you've NEVER worked in a computer repair depot, before.
