oh siht man i want that screensaver!

Heh, that's pretty well done, looks perfect except for the fake text at the top.

I could see a lot of people using this to slack off, yeah.

[ultralowincome]

funny stuff indeed...wonder if it'll be updated for Vista..

Linux has been doing this for years.


Still great screensaver though.

I downloaded this a long time ago. It comes as a surprise to me that Microsoft would host it. Now if only it could simulate the startup process better by probably allowing an image to serve as a fake BIOS startup.

I've been using that Screensaver for years too. I honestly figured it was a matter of time before something like this came out for Windows!

Even though I've seen enough error messages to know these are fake by looking at them long enough, apparently everyone in my family thinks this computer needs to be sent in for repair as soon as possible.

I stuck it on my roomate's computer

Needless to say, it scared the living shit out of him when he saw the screen, and he started freaking out until i explained i put the screensaver on as a joke.

You coulda just charged him to "fix" it.

LOL, and I can imagine the look on their face when they see it's just a screensaver after you "fixed" their computer.

Damn, that's an awesome idea.

I'll do that to my younger brother, since he doesn't know anything about computers as well.

That should make for an entertaining family visit.

That is amazing...does it work on windows 98/2000 etc? i.e. will it show the win98 startup screen instead of the winxp screen?

Guess what's going on my schools server now. mwhahaha....



...on second thoughts, i don't want to get expelled so no....naughty, naughty stuart!

Telling him it was a screensaver is a bad idea *wink*. You need the money.

[stuartwood89]

Yeah...I would have surfed that wave as far as I could.
