Windows XP Times Square Crash
Well, they say any publicity is GOOD publicity, right?
OK, I realize this error may have more to do with Flash than Windows XP, but if you’re looking for unbiased tech journalism, keep walking.

OS X ftw!!
Losers, This Is Why A Mac IS Better.
You guys are right…. and since OS X never crashes, whenever it does actually happen to computers that I service, I tell the user, “What you are seeing never happened. If you tell anyone about this, Steve Jobs will come to your house and over-feed your goldfish.”
User says, “What does ‘An unknown error has occurred’ mean?”
I say, “Shhhhhhh. Go back to sleep, you’re having a bad dream.”
with a mac you would see a spinning beach ball, followed by a force-quit dialog.
-> Brian
Mac OS X – The Rolls-Royce of computers!
Or at least you are a Roll-Royce type service person!
Operating Systems that Crash = All
Application that Crash = All
Users That think Mac’s Don’t Crash = All.
No OS is infallible because they are all written by Humans.
-> Matt
Gee, hmmm, All Mac Users think Mac’s don’t crash?
That’s a little = EXTREME
Me thinks your equation #3 ? ALL
While the equation (# Mac Crashes/User < # Winders Crashes/User)= TRUE
there might have been a time when someone would say, “wow, that thing is a piece of crap” — but those times are long gone.
people are so used to windows machines that constantly tank, i bet people probably shrugged it off as something that just happens.
“reboot and try again.. and if it crashes again — don’t do that thing.”
The plural of Mac is Macs, not Mac’s.
Tell me what you're thinking...
