"We've been fiddling around with the Windows 7 Beta for a few days, but just now finally run into that old friend of Windows users: the blue screen of death.
It's good to see that Microsoft hasn't bothered to change the old Windows blue screen; and by good, we mean bad. Isn't it about time to fail a little bit more gracefully? Or at the very least, in a way that actually makes sense to end-users? The error throws up the driver that caused it (way at the bottom of the error) before automatically rebooting, but actually identifying it via which type of component it is-sound, video, USB, hard drive-would be useful for people who just want to know what they did to cause it.
It's a beta, Microsoft, but it's doubtful you have enough time to revamp this BSOD for launch. Maybe by Windows 8?"
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
i Have more than 24 BSOD with Vista. First one was with Alcohol %120 Vista kept me stuck in an endless loop of Blue screen of death. Restarting once the BSOD safety features kicked in. I had to restore to fix. Then it was windows media center and it's remote that caused the BSOD. Every single time i connected the USB IR to my laptop i would get a blue screen of death. The other times they have happened randomly don't know why.
It seems thing will continue the same with windows 7.
What people don't realize that is that in order to prevent the whole thing from crashing only certain components are sacrificed so that they can be restarted. So you don't get to see the blue screen of death but rather "certain feature" has stopped responding. followed by Restarting the processed that hanged. Only when a fatal error occurs is that you see the blue screen of death. nice way to hide it.
no surprise..
although as a proud microsoft hater.. i believe windows 7 will be good in the long wrong..
but still it will be riddled with issues if your not tech savy enough
even their crashes are outdated!
:)
At least change the error screens ms. How bout a nice Rainbow screen of death.
Did you know blue screens of death are caused by driver problems or malfunctioning hardware its not Microsofts fault lol. Learned that in operating fundamentals class at college.
