This has got to be one of the funniest things to come out of the 2008 Olympics.
Imagine going to the trouble and expense of making all of the travel arrangements, getting a passport and flying all the way to China to attend the Olympic games. You are expecting to relax and take it easy while you watch all of your favorite events when all of a sudden, during the opening ceremonies, there it is.
Obviously one of the things you were looking forward to on this trip was going a few weeks without seeing it. Yet there it is in all of it's living blue and white horror, the Blue Screen Of Death, projected on the ceiling of the Bird's Nest as Li Ning was making his virtual run around the top of the stadium on his way to light the torch.
It seems that the Chinese officials in charge of the technology behind the opening ceremonies decided to use Windows XP on the computers used to control the display. Somewhere along the line somebody saw evidence of this and managed to snap a picture that showed up on Gizmodo
An extra touch to the punchline is that reportedly, Bill Gates was there. I wonder if he saw it.

First, I do believe that your caps lock key is stuck. I suggest either repairing it or replacing the keyboard.
Second, I am not, nor have I ever claimed to be a “mac nerd”. I actually know very little about Mac computers and have never actually seen one in person…never mind used one.
Third, I have no information as to the validity of the picture. I simply think it’s funny as all get out.
Fourth, even if you were there in person you could easily have missed it in a facility the size of the Bird’s nest
Fifth, If you can offer proof that the picture was photoshopped, please feel free to post it here and I’ll be glad to invite experts to confirm it.
Sixth, You misspelled “fucking” three times and “fuckers” once.
That would be funny if Bill Gates saw it xD
Oh and Windows doesn’t suck balls..
As for Windoze, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t.
