Obviously they don't think its harmful, though the IT guy here came up and shut my machine down by pushing the power button yesterday....

Jake said on 11/15/06 @ 09:15 AM: Yeah, I had forgotten that Sysinternals had gotten bought up by MS (love all their tools, and I hope they all get integrated into the core). I thought I had blogged about the purchase before, but I'll be danged if I can find it anywhere.
chandu said on 11/24/06 @ 04:43 AM: hehehe, I showed it to the sysadmin at my company and he actually thought it is a real BSOD and gave a huge sigh saying "Itz a long time since we met baby". He sat down infront of the system as if he is starting to wage a war against it and as soon as he pressed enter he found out that it is a screen saver and just walked away...smiling.
