Times Square has seen the largest Windows error message ever. One of the many machines controlling one of the many electronic billboards crashed, displaying a large DirectX error message. The billboard is two stories high. Adam Gaffin happened to be at Times Square and took some pictures of the world's largest error message.

The problem seems to be that that's what people are selling these systems with. You get a PC, desktop OS and a POS software package.
On top of that, the software is unstable and it crashes. Causing either Hardlocks or just stupid random errors.
I'm not sure what they wrote this in, but if it is an application based error, exception handling isn't being done...I wish people would just write better software.

I didn't say Gnome or KDE would be a better choice. In fact I don't think any desktop system would be appropriate, they are not meant for this.
