The World's Biggest Windows Blue Screen of Death

Olympic sized XP error


The opening ceremony at the Beijing Olympic games was - by all accounts - quite spectacular*. Especially the bit where Chinese gymnast Li Ning apparently jogged towards the torch despite being suspended more than 70 metres aloft.

The picture to the right shows him. It also shows an enormous Blue Screen of Death, a familiar sight to Quake gamers. More interestingly, it shows that BSOD running - or not running - on Windows XP rather than the more up-to-date Vista operating system.

According to Lenovo chairman, Yang Yuanqing, quoted in The Sydney Morning Herald, "If it's not stable, it could have some problems".

We wonder how ex-Microsoft CEO, Bill Gates - who was watching from the stands - felt about the whole thing.

He must've felt proud that Beijing chose Windows over Mac.

ROFL!

Although I must say had they used Linux instead of Windows, the poor guy would still be hanging up there, by the time they installed all the drivers. (Linux users don't get offended. Just a small joke)
