Seems pretty common. I was down in Clinton on Saturday for Heather's
parents' wedding anniversary, and there was a cable channel that had
a WinXP error screen showing, saying something about how the app (I
couldn't read the type, it was too small and blurry) "had encountered
an error and needed to close" and how the viewer was invited to call
Microsoft for assistance. It was pretty sad.

Reminds me of the Thai official who got caught in his BMW when the
server that runs the door locks (!) crashed (!!).
