Five-storey Blue Screen Of Death spotted in Thailand (awesome photo)
The Register ^ | Aug 22, 2016 | Richard Chirgwin

Windows crashing and producing the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) is seldom pleasant, or convenient.

It's also seldom as conspicuously displayed as in the image below, which The Register found on Facebook late last week. By your correspondent's reckoning, that there is a five-storey BSOD.

If you can't see the pic below, click here (it is planted in Facebook's garden, so if you'd prefer not to visit, you were warned).

It's actually pretty common to see BSODs on public displays.

This one probably holds the display size record, however.

The smallest BSOD I can recall seeing was on a price checker.

BSOD screen saver.

You forgot the link. From the link:

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!

Microsoft liked it so much that they bought the company.
