Microsoft To Replace Blue Screen Of Death

Yes, we all know (or maybe some of us know) that the Blue Screen of Death is going to become Red in the next version of Windows, but I think the idea of replacing the BSOD with Solitaire of Death would be much more entertaining.

Now if Google ever releases and OS, I think it should carry ads on its crash screen.

Working wife's PC, as mine is in the shop for SLOIC (Sudden Loss of Internet Connection) that even MS couldn't fix. I easily found their number on the MS Website, was talking to a live, truly English-speaking individual within a minute, and a tech within 3 minutes. They said they'd charge me $35 NO MATTER HOW LONG THE SOLUTION TOOK, and REFUND the $35 if they couldn't solve it.

Two-plus hours and a repair-reinstall of XP later, the problem wasn't solved. Tonight, in less than five minutes, got the credit to my charge card.

Sure, I wish they'd solved it. (We'll see what DSI finds.) But color me impressed by the "big evil" M$;-)
