New York, NY -- That's one big error message!

We went down to New York for the long weekend. Despite the 16-degree weather, we walked down to Times Square - all the bright lights lured us the ten blocks from our hotel. When we got there, we stood like, well, tourists, gaping at all the electronic billboards. And then, across the square, I saw it: the world's largest Windows error message - on a two-story high e-billboard (I guess everything really is bigger in New York). It was the only billboard in the entire square with absolutely no movement - since the PC running it had obviously frozen.

Oops. Judging by the DirectX logo in the box, it looks like the program that runs all the video and stuff decided it was done working. Maybe it didn't like that woman in the picture.

 
Lord oh lord, why do companies insist on using Windows for this kind of thing? Windows decides to bluescreen and you've got a dead billboard for a while :P

Give me *nix of give me death!
