I thought I saw a blue screen during the opening ceremony, but I don’t think it was a system error. The major problem with this picture that I find is that you can see the error message in English.

Hello! The Opening Ceremonies we saw in the U.S. weren’t LIVE, it was edited. Not hard to imagine that they switched to a different camera angle or cut it out all together. Broadcast TV never does LIVE (real LIVE) anymore, anyway. It’s on a short delay even when it’s supposed to be LIVE, which this broadcast wasn’t. PREVIOUSLY RECORDED. Dvorak confirmed its authenticity on TWIT. He’s got backup sources. Although, even the iPhone demo computers in AT&T Stores last year ran Windows. And yes, one crashed and someone got it on camera. (I wish I had bookmarked it.)

Not a fanboy, just a realist.

I had a really good look at the pic, and as much as it pains me to say so (I’m a really staunch anti-M$ “bigot”), I’m about 95% sure that it’s photoshopped. Apart from the missing projector, have a good look at the surface area where the picture is, it is most defenitely not flat. It’s almost curved in more than one direction (look closely), but yet the picture of the BSOD is perfectly square. Hmm… That’s not nice. Use factual pics to slag M$ if you want to (it’s a lot funnier that way anyway), don’t fabricate.

ARE YOU SURPRISED!?!?! It looks pretty real to me, but the fact that you couldn;t see it when it was recorded with a dvr makes me suspicious

#11 Halcyon1024 > “The Olympics are the pride of all China; nobody wants to repeat Bill Gates’s press-conference BSOD.”

The software pirating is the pride of the Chinese, and I guess the Olympics was the second afterall.
And also, its not for Bill that gets the BSOD, but china itself for having to get the BSOD, as their attitude towards inside and outside of the country is bad. They achieved the BSOD.

As someone said:

Probably some anti-MSoft fanboy who’s pissed off because you can’t download from the NBC sites unless you download Silverlight, first.

Amazing pictures!
But, it should not be happen on the biggest ceremony in the world. Should not be happen again.
