Engadget has an article on how to remove the Windows BSOD icon in 10.5. They seem to think that removing it is a good idea - since it's "so pompous and galling".
I call shenanigans. Pompous? Maybe. Galling? Give me a break.
It's true, Microsoft would never do something like this. Mostly because Microsoft cares precious little about interoperability with other network filesystems. CIFS is good enough for everybody - how's that for smug?
I suggest ignoring the whiners and embracing the BSOD icon. And then take it a step further: install xscreensaver and use the BSOD screensaver. Then smile when people tell you "there's something wrong with your computer!"
