    Nope. Can't say it's on my to do list either... ;)

    Wouldn't it be funny if they changed the color just so critics couldn't complain about BSODs. :p Like if they changed it to orange... OSOD. :D

    what i did is simple.. or i think thats when it crashed.. i was surfing.. and switched my wifi button off.. then before wifi completely closes down, i tried to sign out of my google toolbar.. and pop!! BSOD!

    Edit: but whatever happened, happened fast.. cudnt even get to read the screen.. 2 seconds.. though, i saw it storing a crash dump..

    When I first installed Vista I managed to get BSOD by clicking on SCSI... in Control Panel. I was just curious to see what it was since I don’t have any SCSI controllers. There you have it, curiosity killed the cat! I won't be doing that again. I also managed to get BSOD by messing with the registry. My DVD drive stopped working under Vista and a solution I came across from M$ told me to delete the upper and lower limits. I accidentally deleted the incorrect registry and it was looping in BSOD repeatedly. :D

    Not going to lie, when i was playing WOW on my sony upgraded to vista ultimate i have had it happen. Twice actually, perhaps its still a driver issue with nvida but regardless it's quite a bummer to see that. Overall i am pleased with vista, but i have my quibbles, and like having and XP PC on hand.

    I remember hearing Microsoft got rid of the BSOD forever..........only to replace with the RSOD (red screen of death)

    if u wanna blue screen ur vista, just try running nhc, works like a charm!
