MS makes appearance at olympics.

But not in a good way. Not sure why it was being projected there but it was and it's not pretty.

Well this is just perfect. At the exact moment Li Ning was rounding the lip of the Bird's Nest during the amazing torch-lighting climax, someone snapped this photo of our good friend the BSOD nestled amongst the Nest's steel twigs. Perhaps an Opening Cermonies IT dude spit out his coffee on the machines in the server room when Li took to the sky? Another question is what a projection screen is doing inside the Nest at that location, but I think the better question is what wasn't going on inside the Nest's roof—did you see that thing during the ceremonies? Lights! Fireworks! LED screens! Everything! Anyway, if only one image of this perfectness existed we'd be skeptical, but thankfully, someone has grabbed more from a different angle that pretty much seal the deal.



UPDATE: And it's been confirmed on the NBC broadcast by commenter cirby on his DVR.

That has got to be the mother of all BSODs.

Damn you for reading my thought's! I had problems with imageshack and it took 3 attempts to get the images up.

MS will soon issue a statement that the ceremony was in fact using 200 MS Server 2008 boxes, and that their failure rate is less than 1% in mission critical environments.



Where do you want to go today ??

Actually, I put the LOL cause I couldn't help it, but truely, 2k and 2k3 server doens't BSOD unless you got a serious issue. I think the main BSODs I can remember are some of the glorious BS i64 servers from dell running 2k3 i64 edition for the itanium.
They were serious boat anchors and we had hardware issues on 2 of them in Integration that usually occurred during startup or shutdown.
If these guys are having not only one but multiple BSOD at the olympics, I would have to say it's sabatage or some seriously crappy architecture they're running on.
