BSOD for the Gold!

Ha! The Chinese evidently make use of Windows, since one of the big projected images at the Olympics opening ceremonies included a huge XP Blue Screen of Death [1]for, oh, a couple of hours. In front of 2.3 billion people. (Pics here [2] and here [3].)

Can’t buy publicity like that.

I had that thought, too.

That was pretty funny! Why they would use Windows is beyond me though.

Hmmmm … authoritarian organization, ostensibly for the benefit of the masses, but in reality robbing them of all freedom by dictating their every action … sound like a perfect match!
