    I thought it was a Joke until I saw my friends computer on their home network.

    This only applies to machines sharing with SMB, right?

    The CRT display is also funny. It looks generically antique.

    When Jobs shows a Windows screen in one of his presentations, it’s always running Solitaire. That would have worked also. They could change to that in 10.5.1 to tone it down a notch and this would still be a classic BSOD appearance.

    The Leopard icons are about the same resolution as a real BSOD, that’s why you can read the BSOD text in the Leopard icon.

    Although I’ve made my livelihood with Windows for many years, I would have pretty much laughed my ass off at this.

    In, say, 1998.

    How traditionally snide and unnecessary. How uncharacteristically out-of-touch.
