World's largest Windows error message


We went down to New York for the long weekend.
Despite the 16-degree weather, we walked down to Times Square - all the bright lights lured us the ten blocks from our hotel.
When we got there, we stood like, well, tourists, gaping at all the electronic billboards.
And then, across the square, I saw it: the world's largest Windows error message - on a two-story high e-billboard (I guess everything really is bigger in New York).
It was the only billboard in the entire square with absolutely no movement - since the PC running it had obviously frozen.

A clearer view of the message for you error-message geeks:

Hehe ... good one ... I've been to NYC couple years back, and the same thing happened to me ... except I didn't have a camera. What would be really cool is if all the billboards in Times Square froze all at once ... that would be awesome

It's just a shame it wasn't a BSOD, now that would've been funny.
This is not a Windows help forum, however please do feel free to sign up and agree or disagree with our views on Microsoft.

Oh and FUCKMicrosoft! :fu:

Yup, the general protection fault is still alive and well.
