Post by: TechPro on October 23, 2012, 02:59:52 PM
Could it actually be this?

But, that's not a photo Van. Neither is dogs playing poker, which would be my guess for second, if it was a photo.

It is a photo if you take a camera and photograph it.
But the question is, if only one person takes a perfect photo of the BSOD, when anyone else sees the original BSOD does it legally count as them viewing the photo?

To be fair, I almost never saw BSOD on Windows XP, relatively rarely on Windows 2000, and NEVER (to date) on Windows 7.

Windows 95, on the other hand...

I don't like windows, you know, but to be honest, Vista pro that I had, I had for years and I don't know if I ever saw it. 95 and/or 98, yeah. Saw it a lot.

Its not a photo, true. Okay. Most commonly viewed thing on a windows, is BSOD

Fortunately I've seen that picture of those rolling hills way more than the BSOD :)

I think those Rolling Hills might actually be on the revolving PTMC signs in D3 Lv4.

EDIT: Just checked. No, but it is close.

In my experience the worst offender for the BSOD was Windows NT 3.x

Honestly I've had more BSOD problems with my two windows 7 boxes I built out of all new hardware than I've had with any other computer I've ever owned, including those made up of used hardware crammed into too-small cases, never dusted, and ran way too hard.

You must be doing something with those machines that I'm not, then, because Windows 7 has never really given me any serious trouble ever, and never a BSOD. I've actually been quite impressed with it.

Never really got the chance to use NT, but I have heard horror stories about it, so I don't doubt your word. Although I've heard that Windows ME was even worse.

Oh no, don't get me started on WinME, that OS was an abomination!  But I never had a chance to use NT, NT 4.0, NT 5.0, and 2000.

WinME = Abomination ... Very much so.

By the way, "Windows NT" was what MS called NT version 3.1. and "Windows NT" got all the way up to version 4.0 service pack 6a.  "NT 5.0" is what we've called "Windows 2000" which got all the way to service pack 4 plus one "roll up" package.  "NT 5.1" is what we know as "Windows XP" with "NT 5.2” being XP 64bit and Server 2003.  "NT 6.0” is "Windows Vista" and "Server 2008" with "NT 6.1” being "Windows 7" and "Server 2008 R2”.  "NT 6.2" is "Windows 8" and "Server 2012".

"NT" may have been an abbreviation for the Intel processor code named N-Ten, but it may have stood for "New Technology" but eventually didn't really stand for anything in particular.

Thought someone might be interested to know.
