MicroSoft's Blue Screen of Death
The curse of the BSOD continues to haunt Bill Gates live on stage
Created: 01/12/98 Updated: 02/04/2007 Authors: Ryan Miller

Maybe I'm just jaded because I use both Macs and PCs everyday, but the Microsoft operating system sucks. It's full of holes, unstable and requires a massive support center in India to help maintain just my stupid email account. And somebody please tell me why my PC is a magnet for spyware and has more viruses than an overworked bi-sexual Thai hooker. Meanwhile my PowerMac G5 has only froze once or twice this past year and doesn't even know what a virus is, let alone gotten one. Isn't anyone else sick of this Microsoft crap! I can't believe we just blindly accept this as a way of life. Anyway, here's Bill Gates having to deal with his own crappy software repeatedly crashing on him live on stage. Serves him right.

This video is from a live demonstration of Windows 98. In the middle of the demonstration, the infamous Microsoft Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) makes an appearance much to the delight of the audience. Gates and his fellow presenter try to make light of the crash, but it's a tough recovery, even in front of a loyal Microsoft crowd. There's not much to say when you are telling the world how good your software is and it crashes. It's nice to know that even Bill Gates has to deal with his own crappy software sometimes.
 
"What I can't get over is how many times this has happened to poor old Billionaire Bill. Can someone get this guy a system that works? I know the typical response to that, especially from you Mac guys, is "what do you expect, Windows sucks." Windows does have a tendency to live up to its reputation for suckitude, but that still doesn't explain why so many presentations like this one (live on the Conan O'Brien show during the CES in Vegas) blow up in his face. Who sets these things up? Is there any kind of testing that goes on beforehand or do they just have a sound-check guy plug in the PC ten minutes before the show, pat Bill on the ass, and send him on his way to embarrassment and eternal internet mockery?" ~ The Angry Hamster
