Apple continues to rip Windows…

This is funny either way, but can anyone confirm it’s actually genuine? (update: apparently so…)

that’s hilarious, as you said, either way.

Yeah sure. The BSOD has been the PC icon in OS X for the last few versions.

it’s not a real bsod tho.. it’s the "system error" from win 9x (you could get one from simply trying to access a CD that has been removed iirc). Proper windows BSOD’s only exist in NT based versions. I think it’s more subtle that they’re using an old, clunky, beige CRT for windows based machines instead of sleek TFT’s.

I’ve almost never seen a BSOD in Vista or 7.

Yes, i noticed last time when i started connecting iMacs to my Active Directory. All the pcs show up as tiny little blue screens. The buggers. lol!

A BSOD is a BSOD, doesn’t matter what kernel it was using.
But yes, I can confirm that this icon was introduced in Leopard.
iirc, it was added in fairly early on the developer seeds.
Here’s a screenrecording I did in februari 2008: using coverflow to browse the network I was part of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWn9p0MLnGw

This was in Leopard IIRC. Anil Dash summed it up best back then http://dashes.com/anil/2007/10/smug-ugly.html . With Snow Leopard the joke’s on them.

Are you finding this out now? A bit late to be considered news I think.
this is old. but still lol.
This isn’t new. Leopard had the same icons for Windows SMB shares. BTW, Linux SMB shares have Mac icons.

If they need it to be happy… Bashing windows seems to be the most important thing for Apple, in their OS and in advertising. I think in the long run it doesn´t pay.

sometimes I wonder how bits of humour and personality as this would be taken if microsoft did the same in their os. How would you react if MS altered the network computer symbol based on agent and had the mac as an os8 type cream box with a sad computer face?

Haha, "Plenty of Linux and other Unix machines show up as Samba file shares, meaning they’ll be presented as unstable blue-screening machines, despite the fact that they’re likely more stable than OS X. "

@alphaxion – As of Windows Vista, it’s possible to do something like that with the LLTD protocol and network mapper, if you’re willing to hack some code together and create an icon file. (Conveniently, Microsoft provide a Shared Source implementation of LLTD for Linux that you could abuse)… ;)

Newsflash: Apple is arrogant! Film at eleven.
Yeah, I’m using Snow Leopard and it’s pretty much the same thing on PC-related network items attached on my Mac…
