Mac loves Windows Blue Screen of Death?

Almost any windows user can tell you how bad their experiences with BSoD (Blue Screen of Death) is. Reason that causes it – plenty. Even if the message in the blue screen says “Press any key to continue”, but most of the time it will not work. Users end up pressing the reset button instead.

BSoD is so famous that even Mac GUI designers use that as a symbol for PC in Mac. In Mac (Leopard, in this case) when you connect to a PC, the icon that represents this external machine is a PC with BSoD on its monitor. Maybe it just look like one on a typically small icon view, but when you zoom the icon up, it’s definitely the same nightmare Windows users are seeing occasionally on their PC.

Funny thing is, why would Mac developers wanna do that :-)

    While that looks funny and all at first, after a while, the icon doesn’t fit with the rest of Leopard’s aesthetics.

    I changed that straight away to the ADC icon after I installed Leopard. :)

    the only thing apple has EVER made that’s worthwhile is the iphone and ipod, their computers are ridiculously slow, and most games can’t be played on a mac without third party software. macs are made for the retards that flunked out of school and can’t figure out how to work a real computer. lol you guys are homos :D

    sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Ive used both PC and Mac and I don’t favor either. I like how almost every app is made for the PC and i like how Macs run and feel. No need for hurtful comets for either side.

    Try running your articles by an editor or even through a word processing program. Those red lines underneath all of your sentences actually mean something. They are incomplete thoughts and make absolutely no sense.

    “Even if the message in the blue screen says “Press any key to continue”, but most of the time it will not work.”

    If you like spending ALL of your free time screwing with Windows to get things to work and think that makes you smarter than Mac users, well, I don’t know how to comment on that. I’m using Windows in BootCamp because I have no choice. I need to run MasterCam.

    However, in three years with an IMAC and not one problem, not even a frozen screen, I’ve had to reload Windows twice in the three weeks I’ve been running it. It constantly freezes up and gives error messages that require quite a lot of time to fix. I’d give anything if MAC had been the system that ended up being the one most software is written for. I’ll never understand why it turned out that way.
