I didn't say UNIX never crashed. I said it didn't give the BSOD. I have seen others have a kernel panic, but (knock on motherboard) I've only had one...installing a new version of the OS on top of an old one.

Full Disclosure: I was woken up in the middle of the night about 6 weeks ago. It was my HP printer vocalizing "RED ALERT! RED ALERT" with a siren-type sound howling as well. and apparently there was something akin to a general protection fault with the driver.

Never did go back to sleep, either -- sounded too viscerally like a fire alarm.

I'm sorry, but that's the funniest thing I've seen in weeks!

Regarding the BSOD, did you know that with Vista, the BSOD is a thing of the past????










It is red now. LOL.
