A Screen Saver that rocks.

Yeah, I wondered why Microsoft would consume Sysinternals. I guess they will now start to contaminate some of the most useful tools for making Windows and Windows apps work properly with their evil code. But at least they have a sense of humour and kept the BSOD screensaver.
I'm a little baffled.

I'm using the ASD/Captive screensaver. Looks great but unfortunately it takes a lot of perfomance that sometimes playing MP3s results in clicks and hops.

Maybe, but on the other hand, they have often been referring to the Sysinternals tools from the MSDN site, and I'm pretty sure that they will get a lot of complaints if they start to remove functionality from the tools.
True, but the Sysinternals tools have always been compact and efficient. Filemon is about 100k and uses only the basic APIs (ie. no .NET etc.). It doesn't need installation and it doesn't dump loads of rubbish in the system directories and the registry. That's very opposite to the Microsoft philosophy. So I'm afraid MS will try to make "improvements".
Why settle with only windows BSODs when you can have all of them?

There is supposed to be a windows port, too.

...and here is the gracious port for your beloved not-so-advanced os ;-)
funkyou: An OS that is more than 10 years older than you is supposed to be "more advanced".. yeah well..
Prof.Spock: i dont get you... no one uses code from the 60s nowadays ;-)
spock: newer and more advanced are not necessarily the same things :-)
did jamie zawinski really code that macosx checkbox in 1998?
the initial code is from 1998 and was then enhanced by various authors over the years... if i remember correctly, the first version only had linux, win95 and the original mac bsods...
Oh yeah let's turn this into another totally useless operating system discussion, just what the internet needs.
btw.. I think nicks with a year of birth as part of them should be automatically banned from pouet. This is not myspace....
that doesn't seem very logical to me...
oh look, no BeOS :D
Does BeOS have a screen of death at all? I was using it for a while, and wasn't able to get one. Though i managed to make it freeze once or so.
Yes, it's called "Kernel Debugging Land" (KDL), because when you see it, it says "Welcome to kernel debugging land...". It's a bit like the Quake console, covering the upper part of the screen with tiny black font on white background.
