Longhorn takes more steps forward in

the WRONG direction...

``The Red Screen of Death appears to be the bigger, badder cousin to the traditional blue screen and is designed to let users know that a more serious error has occurred, Kaplan said.''

That is good stuff: the Longhorn is not only going to bring back the phantom of the blue screen, it will also ENHANCE it with a RED one!


``It's unlikely that the problem will affect many users of the next generation operating system. Kaplin, Microsoft's technical lead for globalization infrastructure, fonts and tools, said that he had only achieved the red screen of death by making a "small set-up change" and altering the registry.''

More good stuff: it wont affect many people, only those who make SMALL SET-UP CHANGES or alter the registry. Yap: ms users are considered TOO mentaly diminished to endeavor small set up changes or too timid to do so.



I am 'SO' looking forward to hearing the next-gen of horror stories....

MS:``Are you a masochist? Then redmond has the right stuff for you''(TM)
