An Industry of Cool… or not.

This is horrible if it is real.  I am skeptical as to if this happened during the actual ceremonies…maybe a rehearsal.  I didn’t see the opening, though.

Windows BSoD takes the Gold at the Beijing Olympics

August 11th | Posted by Dr. Macenstein

Faithful Macenstein reader Adam Davie sent us these shots he found on the River Cool forums showing that once again, Windows’ Blue Screen of Death has crashed another event, this time the Opening Ceremony of Beijing 2008 Olympics Games.

Above: hmm… maybe no one will notice…

Perhaps this is simply Microsoft’s idea of “product placement”, as the BSOD is one of the more recognizable features of Windows, and perhaps transcends all language barriers.
