Re: Yesterday's Microsoft marketing bravado is just too funny. So now, 17 months after general availability, Microsoft will promote Windows Vista? Get a life.

For your further education (which seems sorely lacking) very common
reasons for A BSOD can often be traced to the kernel or some driver
running in kernel mode encountering some error such as a page fault
from which it cannot recover. While hardware can also cause a BSOD if
there is something failing or damaged or improperly set with hardware
the BSOD will tend to repeat over and over until fixed. If not, put
the blame where it belongs on the operating system itself. Sorry that
bursts the bubble of the fanboy crowd but facts are facts.
Since the particular BSOD I mentioned happened ONCE, very likely it
was Vista causing it.
