(TheForceField.net ) April 1, 2008 — Microsoft Corporation announced release of the latest version of its famous (or infamous, depending on your sense of humor) BlueScreen Screen Saver to the public.
Actually, it was released November 1, 2006 but that is irrelevant. It's a screen saver. It's a BSOD. It's a BSOD screen saver – and it's from Microsoft. Amuse your friends. Amaze your enemies. Make new enemies from friends, or make new friends out of enemies, all courtesy of Microsoft.
The screen saver displays different errors depending on the operating system, according to Technet. It replicates disk errors in Windows NT 4 (someone still uses NT4?), a Windows 2000 splash screen in Windows 98 and Windows 2000, the Windows XP splash screen in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 splash screen in, you guessed it – Windows Server 2003. Blue screens cycle and simulate reboot every 15 seconds. The screen saver requires DirectX to run in Windows 98.
Best of all, it's free, and you can't beat free.
You can download the screen saver at Microsoft Technet .
Yes, Rick people still use NT4
I just finished rebuilding an NT4 box at work. What a nightmare that was
Who knew?
I just read that 3% of enterprise desktops were using Windows 2000, according to Computerworld. There may be other Windows NT users but NT doesn’t support a lot of new Technology despite the NT in its name. (Who knew NT stood for “New Technology”? 😀
