I read a couple of weeks ago that Bill Gates wants to expand where we will find Windows… ie in your car and other places….
That is interesting… I’m sitting here in a Starbucks and was doing a little bit of blogging. Nothing, special.. I had just highlighted some text and got a BSOD Blue Screen of Death and a forced reboot. Fortunately, I try to never have a lot of unsaved data.
Every time something like that happens, I consider the implications of depending on Windows for life critical situations. I get visions of barrelling down the highway flying formation with a bunch of tractor trailers at 75 MPH and suddenly getting a BSOD on the on-board Windows based computer controlling the vehicle.. Not a pretty picture. Waiting for a reboot and reload in heavy fast moving traffic is not appealing. Let’s not make things more complicated than they are.
The funny thing here is that the event viewer didn’t log anything unusual.
In all fairness to Windows, I am running the laptop without the chill mat. There is a possibility that the problem was heat related and not Windows.. but then again.
