Windows plays light music when the PC doomed
,----[ Quote ]
| It is not clear how long Vole has being playing doom music. Some form of
| warning system has been in place since Windows 95. Having had two chips melt
| down when a fan has gone we have never heard any music just the sound of our
| own swearing.

Microsoft and the Broken Window Theory of Economics

| While we don't usually report on anything Microsoft related (as it's
| outside PCBurn's perview) this tidbit was too good for me to pass up.
| Microsoft is reporting (at El Reg) that by releasing an operating system
| it will magically create $40 Billion dollars rather than simply suck
| money out of Europe. They've done this by positing a story somewhat
| similar to the theory of "broken window" economics.

| In short form, a boy breaks a window and his father, the shop keeper,
| then has to have it replaced. It is a given to the people looking on
| the scene that this is good becuase it keeps the glazier employed in
| making windows.
