[Pic] BSOD in a Lift

[da13ro]

Was in a lift today, at one of Sydney's big shopping centre's and looked in the mirror to see a Blue Screen Of Death been reflected. I turned around to see the two screens displaying it above the lifts controls. Slightly un-nerving :p

[Rodrigo]

[Jexel]

Ahaha though lifts generally come with safety precautions so thats okay.

Which Westfield is this from?

Cheez, imagine that it would be running the new Vista OS, with the new activation system. And it would falsely identity the installation as pirated.

"You have to activate this version of Windows to get to Floor 10"

[pyehac]

Man, if that controlled the whole elevator, then I'd be very scared (laughing hysterically, but scared)

[DELTETHISACCOUNT]

I think I'll stick with elevators that only display the number of the floor, ty.

I would've told the people with me in the life that they all had 2 seconds to live after seeing the blue screen of DEATH.

Windows O/Ss are ubiquitous and you can see the BSOD practically anywhere something needs an O/S. For example, public payphones, ATMs, any kind of screen attached to a computer actually...

Would be cool, but depends how many people are interested. Also I wonder how these things go, im sure other places have held them before, meet-ups. Are they disasters?

Yea sure an OS, but OS is a very broad term, I could probably even refer to a bus timetable as an OS. Be interesting to find out how much the lift computers actually control the lifts, or if its just advertising and slideshow style things...Anyone been there while the lifts work, and paid enough attention to them?

haha wait there long enough to record the cd key :p
