The picture is adequate, on the screen we see a blue screen of death

that is an M$ marketing statistic - and those of using NT have figured more workarounds than for 2k

Fine - but when was the last time you could buy NT4 - the PC's are older than this - HDDs have a design life of 5 years (pitty so many of the newer ones don't seem to do even this)

Planes are probably running on intel 80186's - if that makes you feel safer...

just as a side note - not to take out the fun of it, but this is a typical "Blue Screen" from a Windows 9x system.

See on this thread how a Windows NT BSOD looks like.....

When the Mac first came out, Bill said it was the first computer he could buy his mother.

You know he's got a wall of Macs in his rumble room for when Mary calls while Melinda is out washing his socks.

apparently when Bill Gates moved to his swanky techno-gaff in Seattle, there was so much data/paperwork for the city council, they installed linux to manage all the documents!

You think that's bad. Last week I saw a documentary on The Discovery Channel about a Russian "Typhoon" class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine. It was covering it's voyage from it's base to the artic circle where it fired a dummy missile to make sure they were still working after being in storage for so long.

Anyway, at one point the alarm bells go off for a drill or something and there's these couple of sailors using a PC. When the alarm goes off they shut down the PC and up pops the black and orange "It is now safe to turn off your computer" screen. They were running Windows 95 (and this documentary was made just last year)! Even Bill Gates has got the Russian military, of all people, using Windows!

I had to laugh at that until a terrible thought came into my head. What if all the computers on that sub (not just that one used for personal use by the sailors) or all the computers in the entire Russian navy/military are all running Windows 95? God help us all! I'm surprised there haven't been nuclear missile launches all over the place by now if that's the case.

And I also read somewhere before that the newest US Navy destroyers, the "Arleigh Burke" class, run on Windows 95 running on 486's. Okay, I can understand them using 486's because they need a long running, established by now to be reliable chip, but Windows 95 as the OS? Jesus, I'm surprised any of the cruise missiles they launched during the Iraq war even got out of the launchers, let alone managed to hit their targets in Baghdad!

Still, I suppose it could be worse. They could be running Windows ME! :eek:
