BSOD on a Mac?

By Jin Nan Goto

I spent some time today with my newly upgraded Mac Mini.  I installed Snow Leopard and as I was setting up file sharing with my Windows PCs, I saw something that I found quite amusing.  Showing that people at Apple have a wicked sense of humor, the Icon representing a “PC Server” (in this case it was my Laptop running the Windows 7 RC) showed a distinctive and quite familiar sight for a a PC user.  You can see for yourself below.

Networked PC Icons have a BSOD in Snow Leopard

Now apparently this has been around for quite some time, but since I’m a relatively new Mac user (having left Apple for Windows 95 and being an exclusive PC user until a little less than a year ago. And using Windows 95 I certainly encountered my fair share of blue screens.) this was the first time I had noticed it and I’m surprised how many times I pulled up this screen and never noticed it.  It made me smile and shake my head a little.
