Bill Gates vs The BSoD
p2pnet.net News:- The deadly Blue Screen of Death struck during Bill Gates’ keynote presentation at the 2005 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
“His demonstration of Microsoft Media Center crashed during the presentation on integrating digital photography,” says vnunet.com.
TV host Conan O’Brien was on hand, saying he couldn’t criticise Microsoft because it had implanted a Pentium in his brain, and suggested Gates should be played by Milhouse from The Simpsons.
“But his banter was less welcome when things started to go wrong,” says the story, quoting him as saying, “OK, and right now nine people are being fired.”
And to rub it in, later, a Microsoft product manager failed to access the internet with a Tablet PC.
“The Blue Screen of Death, also abbreviated as BSoD, refers to the screen displayed by Microsoft’s Windows operating system when it cannot (or is in danger of being unable to) recover from a system error,” says Wikipedia.

I seem to remember seeing a video of a presentation on Windows 98 where Bill Gates saw a BSoD. He changed the subject pretty swiftly.
Higgy.

Bill Gates, apple is the way to go, not windows, you have click on start to shut down your system, who is the crack head that thought of this?
All kinds of bugs, maybe is should have been called Windows BUGS instead of XP.
Anyways, since I changed OS all is great.
