BSOD started with Windows 98 😂💀

Actually, everyone laughed b/c BSD's were common under Win95.

@itsfoss on the bright side, they admitted they still had work to do and didn't try to gaslight the audience. Compare this to the recent Meta sunglasses demo fail...

@itsfoss

Windows BSoDs were pretty common back then. My favourite one of these stories is that the very first Xbox public demo had a BSoD. Apparently Bill Gates was quite angry at that and said that Xbox must never show a blue screen in a demo ever again. And this is why the Xbox has a green crash screen.

@itsfoss
Such an iconic moment, how many years passed since last time I watched this?

Still, I remembered this the day Facebook's smart glasses failed terribly multiple times and said the exact same thing.
