Longhorn: Fewer BSODs, More RSODs
Windows

Jan Theofel writes "Windows Loghorn will present you less BSOD. Joi Ito reports that Windows Longorn will get additional ROSD (red screen of death) for 'really bad errors.' So you will get less BSOD but some new RSOD. You can find a ROSD screenshot in a virtual machine in his weblog entry."

Why do error codes and other such information have to be delivered against such abraisive backgrounds? White on blue isn't so bad - don't get me wrong, I'm glad we weren't given Yellow... but c'mon.

Hopefully the error screens will be fully customizable and use that fandangled new graphics system.

red... to reflect the utter displair, the loss of a will to live when windows crashes and you realise you didn't save that essay that your future depends on and its due in an hour.

Why do they keep saying ROSD? Die you fucks! Sorry, I'm just stressed from work.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

Glad to see MS is packing in the new features

 

[Pochacco]

That Red makes me ANGRY.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Why stop at Red?

They should use them for advertising.

A more important question is why don't the kernel programmers know how to spell execution.

Because they've been outsourced to India?

You can't install the WinHEC version of Longhorn on Virtual PC...

 

[Diablos]

Nice to know MS is anticipating a lot of serious errors by implementing the RSOD!

 

[miyuru]

HAHAHA go fuck yourself.

[GG-Duo]

An error occured transferring execution!? What the fuck does that mean?

Longhorn isn't even out and it's already pissing me off. Awesome.

 

[aoi tsuki]

i hope they bring back the robot fart that accompanied every crash in Win98.

 

[GG-Duo]

*DUN!*

Sigh. Honestly, this screen better be fake.
