    So Vista blames XP, implying XP's problems are the fault of NT, implying NT's problems are the fault of 98, implying 98's problems are the fault of 95, implying 95's problems are the fault of 3.1, implying 3.1's problems are the fault of DOS...

    Hey, we KNOW who wrote DOS. Let's just hunt him down and make him pay!

    It always amuses me when things like that happen with Windows. All it's doing is blindly reading the resource info that says who wrote it and what app it was... I had Windows Explorer get closed to prevent a data execution exploit yesterday. Microsoft rather handily laid all the blame at their own feet.

    I've seen so many Temperature based WTF's, whether on the news, weather forecasts or outdoor displays like these that they should all be saved up and made into one giant world map of screwey temperatures, bundled with cited sources and added to wikipedia as proof of climate change.

    Nah, it always makes me laugh... I like that. Also, I'd have to guess on this particular one being a result of an XP-to-Vista upgrade install instead of a clean install; one of the XP system files is causing the problem and as a result the version/author tags from that file are "Microsoft Windows XP" as it is a system component.

    What's the problem, that SQL server costs $12,000 (probably way more than the cost of the Dell)? I suppose you could do it for free with a non-Microsoft solution. Obviously MS wants to take advantage of vendor lock in.

    But, it sounds like there's probably some additional hardware too, so it's not like that $12,000 is all going to MS.
