World's Largest Windows Error Message?

by barret55 - 2/21/06 11:16 PM

This guy and his buddies were touring NYC over the weekend, where they were greeted by a familiar sight on one of the video billboards ...

A Windows error message.

I stopped reading them after the first few ...

Everyone was flaming everyone else saying

"Macs rule!"

or

"Macs suck! Windows rules!"

Oh, and the few comments about everyone being idiots and morons too. :)

But seriously, was there something in the comments?

Software error

It was a software error, not a Windows error. Just to be clear.

Ah yes ...

I did see that, and the resulting arguing about whether it was a Windows software error or an application error. Thanks for clearing it up Andy. :)

The fact remains

That it is a Windows machine. Besides, isn't Windows in and of itself still software? :P


I know, you meant 3rd-party software, but I have to get my jabs in when possible.

SF had something similar

by boysfromboston - 2/22/06 12:00 PM In reply to: Comments by AndyInTN

Back when half of the Boys from Boston (Vij) lived in SF (2002-04), there was an electronic billboard which was an IE 404 error. You could see while driving on 101-N, a little ways after the PacBell Park exit (I think near the Bayshore Blvd exit).

SF Buzz folks, Tomollica, you know if it's still there?

NYC MetroCard Machines...

Oh... another one. NYC MetroCard dispensing machines sometimes have the same IE 404 error. That probably means the touchscreen interface is on top of IE (and on Windows). It's a wonder people haven't figured out how to hack into them.
