What a Windows 7 BSOD Looks Like |

Not a great start but I'm still keeping an open mind.

Not only do I see a white iPod cable attached, but on my Vista machine, iTunes is the only thing which gives me a BSOD. It's very easy to reproduce:
1) Plug in iPod Touch, wait for iTunes to load normally
2) Sync, etc
3) Click the power button to go to sleep
4) Unplug the iPod while the computer is still on sleep mode
5) Wake up the computer, log back in
6) With iTunes still open from last time, just plug in the iPod to experience a flash of BSOD before an automatic reboot...

Yes. iTunes is a very unstable Windows application. You would think Apple could develop a stable enough application to run on Windows.

I know! Maybe with each one they send Dominos to your door with a pizza? Then they'd fix it!~

Not sure what the editors deal is but BSOD are commonly caused by bad drivers rather then a simple kernel defect but I guess people have been eager to to report these sort of errors. Anyways, hope it works for people.

I prefer my computer crashing and giving me a BSOD than no warning and computer locked with a Spinning Beach ball...
BTW, I use a Windows Desktop, a Linux HTPC, and Macbook, not biased towards or against anything, I just wish Gizmodo would just cover tech news without bias.

Its sure better than a spinning beachball.

I've seen people delete their Kernel32.dll, or explorer.exe files. I want them to get the most cryptic hex code possible so that they have to call someone with a brain in order to figure things out (and Microsoft post a list of what those codes mean). 99% of the time that's more useful than any error message, it shocks the user into thinking "oh, shit this is serious techie stuff, I better get help", I can't even count how many times I've had this conversation:
User: My computer's giving me errors.
Me: Okay, what do they say?
User: I don't know, I just click okay and they go away.

1) Microsoft actually makes their own hardware for their OS or
2) All hardware manufacturers conform to whatever spec Microsoft make up or
3) At least all PC hardware manufacturers (competitors or not) work together nicely

Computers don't work after you have chewed on them for long enough...

Well, I've installed Win 7 on about a dozen machines now (several businesses I admin for want to test their software on it). Not a single blue screen (haven't even needed to forcibly kill a single program yet), and that is even with several installs onto hardware of questionable compatibility...
So far about 80% of the software I have tested works on 7 (some of it slightly predates XP, and a few titles are damn well ancient ~Win98)...
Leaving all machines on 24/7, some have been running for two weeks straight (so I didn't wait for the beta to open... does it matter now?).
for a grand total of: 0 BSODs, 0 unnecessary restarts, 0 hardware incompatibilites, albeit I was installing mostly on generic business machines of varying age, not cutting edge gaming rigs or anything special).
Suck it! I'm convinced, and everyone should shut the fcuk up and install it for themselves, don't listen to me or any of these other wankers. Create a partition and install it for yourself if you want to know how it runs.......
Its fcuking free, go do it!
