Thought I'd post it, I found it funny, especially because of the creator.

One of the most feared colors in the NT world is blue. The infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) will pop up on an NT system whenever something has gone terribly wrong. Bluescreen is a screen saver that not only authentically mimics a BSOD, but will simulate startup screens seen during a system boot.


On NT 4.0 installations it simulates chkdsk of disk drives with errors!
On Win2K and Windows 9x it presents the Win2K startup splash screen, complete with rotating progress band and progress control updates!
On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 it present the XP/Server 2003 startup splash screen with progress bar!

Bluescreen cycles between different Blue Screens and simulated boots every 15 seconds or so. Virtually all the information shown on Bluescreen's BSOD and system start screen is obtained from your system configuration - its accuracy will fool even advanced NT developers. For example, the NT build number, processor revision, loaded drivers and addresses, disk drive characteristics, and memory size are all taken from the system Bluescreen is running on.
Use Bluescreen to amaze your friends and scare your enemies!

I don't know whether it makes me laugh, or cry, that Microsoft just isn't taking it seriously.

Sorry but Microsoft can make stuff for fun sometimes and it doesn't mean they don't give a damn about Windows, of course they are taking it seriously... They are just making something fun for their users.

"do not feed the trolls"?

Seriously? I was putting my thoughts forward, I'm glad MS have a sense of humor, but to distribute a screensaver that makes fun of the stability of their own operating system is pretty funny.

Seriously, this forum, since anybody finds out what troll means they call it constantly. It's like a rape card.
