My eyes are actually watering, and my sides are really sore from trying to stop bursting laughing.

Yes, waiting for the system shut shutdown while rebooting, while falling 40,000 feet kinda sucks...

All of these are great, but that airport one is fucking hilerous.

These are classic! I've actually received that "keyboard not found, press F1 to continue." message. It was proof of microsoft brilliance.

Oh, and that last picture of the airport reader board with the fatal error on it... as funny as it is I have to point out the departure schedule has nothing to do with the airplanes, thus it crashing would, at worst, leave some helpless as to what airplane is at what gate and when they are expected to leave.

True, and beside, the onboard computer is probably a more reliable operating system....

As long as we're being charitable, the keyboard error is not a Microsoft invention, and does, or did at one point, serve a purpose.

I did once see a cashpoint, in the Eurostar terminal at the Gare du Midi in Brussels, showing a Windows NT blue screen of death. . .

The only time I've seen the keyboard error was during startup, not in Windows, or even MS-DOS.

I wish I knew what was used onboard aicraft...commercial aircraft, that is. I suspect it would be a specialized version of unix or something similar.
