The first one is what you get when the dvd is scratched or that proprietary "unzip" application coughed up a hair ball.Red Squirrel wrote:Microsoft fails at failing all the time.
I think that one is photoshopped, but here's a few real ones:
Uhh, what?
Very helpful, thanks ms!
o rly?
This is classic, thats the Bluescreen screen saver, It looks like your machine bluescreens then it does a fake reboot with the bios then the loading windows thing, then it bluescreens again. It could be a chop, but id be willing to bet thats a screensaver fail.Nosferatu wrote:

That is epic lol. Not only is microsoft showing it's lack of efficiency, but it's basically telling that your spelling sucks so bad that it wont even bother displaying all the errors.Kwan wrote:This is an old error I got one day while looking at a log file from IRC:
HA! I was right.As for the errors I posted, this is what they are:
1: windows 7 install with no DVD inserted
Red Squirrel wrote:What's funny about windows vista and windows 7 is you actually need drivers for the cdrom drive. wtf thought of that? So it boots up half way, then suddenly it needs drivers, if it can't find them, it can't find the cd since it can't reconize the cdrom anymore.
Yet, windows 98, 2k, xp, even me, will find a newer cdrom just fine. It booted off it, it better find it! lol
Linux is very frustrating when you don't know much about it, because the obvious stuff is not so obvious, and hard to find any good docs on. But once you do get to know it, it's a great OS, at least for servers. I'm not really ready to use it as my desktop yet, though I always consider it and eventually I want to switch. Probably after the shard revamp I'll work on switching.Dollpartz wrote:Windose > Linux btw, just because you need a degree to work linux.
I'll agree vista sucks ass, whenever I want to do something it will ask me if I'm really sure I want to do this, I say yes I'm sure, then it tells me I don't really want to do this but want to do that instead.

The problem with that is it uses different (low-level) drivers or even uses BIOS emulation to boot from the CD. Then when it runs its own environment, it needs its own drivers to interface with its kernel. I believe all the Windows OSes that do not run on top of DOS need to do this. Even Windows 95 had its own drivers, but it could run drives in "compatibility mode", which just meant using the DOS/BIOS instead, but that was much slower.Red Squirrel wrote:What's funny about windows vista and windows 7 is you actually need drivers for the cdrom drive. wtf thought of that?

nah, you dont need a degree for linux. Any postix environment is actually really easy to use and not that hard to setup, granted you do have some basic working knowledge of a computer system.Dollpartz wrote:Windose > Linux btw, just because you need a degree to work linux.

Actually, BeOS wasn't too bad at all. Whatever happened to that OS...onykage wrote:nah, you dont need a degree for linux.

I mean there are so many vanilla flavors of nix out now that install and configure themselves that nix is easy like Betty Crocker. I mean its not like your tring to learn and install BEOS or BSD.
