Further Blue Screen Notes

I find it funny that some people have made some jokes about that fact that I got a BSOD in Vista, which after a bit of research I traced back to Messenger. There is a fix and upgrade to Messenger 8.1 here:

Anyway, back to the folks who are delighting in making jokes about a Vista crash. Vista, even though it shows similarities to XP, is a completely revamped OS, and so we have to EXPECT incompatibilities with existing applications. You might as well try to run an application from Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and then be surprised when it doesn’t work on Vista! Some applications will work, some will not, that’s what happens when a new OS is released!
