bruce that is fucking classic!

do you think that microsoft's incentive to up bluescreens in order to sell more advertising time would be greater than their commitment to their customers? no, couldn't be!!

40 points i say...

Well that made my day.  I got that link in a e-mail that I had to post in about 12 different forums because I thought it was the greatest idea ever!

Just think, with that ad WE would be able to charge M$ to run their OS!  Surely, I wouldn't even think of paying them to advertise something!

I don't think you can beat the real thing... remember Windows 95 with Internet Explorer 4 installed for the first time?:

Oh man, I remember that. Back then I didnt even know that Linux was alive. Back then when i first saw that in my monitor, I thought It was cooooool.

   Talk about being a dumbass.

Wow, I had forgotten about that MSIE active desktop crap... I disabled it so *$%&ing fast after I saw it.

Man......if I drank a beer for every BSOD I encountered my liver would have packed itself in years ago. Heh.....there's an idea for a new drinking game.......the Microsoft error drinking game. You'd need a shitload of beer though.

I've always fouund Active Desktops to be unstable as fuck, and I always simply convert all of my background to bmp's before putting them on.

(unfortuniatly, until I get rid of this joke of a video card, I can't reliably use XWindows)
