MS Sysinternals

QUOTE
Introduction

One of the most feared colors in the NT world is blue. The infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) will pop up on an NT system whenever something has gone terribly wrong. Bluescreen is a screen saver that not only authentically mimics a BSOD, but will simulate startup screens seen during a system boot.
• On NT 4.0 installations it simulates chkdsk of disk drives with errors!
• On Win2K and Windows 9x it presents the Win2K startup splash screen, complete with rotating progress band and progress control updates!
• On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 it present the XP/Server 2003 startup splash screen with progress bar!

Bluescreen cycles between different Blue Screens and simulated boots every 15 seconds or so. Virtually all the information shown on Bluescreen's BSOD and system start screen is obtained from your system configuration - its accuracy will fool even advanced NT developers. For example, the NT build number, processor revision, loaded drivers and addresses, disk drive characteristics, and memory size are all taken from the system Bluescreen is running on.

Use Bluescreen to amaze your friends and scare your enemies!

Bluescreen runs on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 9x (it requires DirectX).


Is MS getting a bit of a sense of humour????

Since most antivirus programs detect jokes that do this same thing... I wonder if they will also report this one since its from MS...

I've gotta do this to my boss! His little Abit system died a couple of days ago, so if he sees a BSOD.....he'll probably be pissed! I can't wait to watch him freak out!!!

MS aquired this screens saver when the purchased Sysinternals.

It's been around for a long time & I have never seen an av program find it as a threat.
This has been one on my favorites for a long time.

Want me to send you the one that reverses the screen? (It's my favorite, but DOES get detected as a joke by AV tools.)
