What...the...hell?
Like you need a screen saver to show one of those. Still quite funny.
Need a kernal panic one for osx, since those occur just as much.

Do you actually get kernel panics regularly then?
I've only ever had two. Once was just random, and the other happened when I unloaded the kernel extension for my powerbook trackpad and then tried to move the mouse pointer with it (doh!).

I've never had any in almost 2 years with OSX. I'm graphic artist and have multiple progs open all the time, and this is on a G4 made in 2001. Maybe its just luck... Not that I havn't had issues with progs freezing, or glitches that have forced me to reboot. 
On a lighter note, I just loaded this screensaver on our NT machine and really freaked out the girl that works with me....Very Funny, LOL.
i thought it was a joke, i didnt realise it was a proper screensaver and that people would take it so seriously, maybe its in the wrong section 
Wow, I've never seen a company so proud of their ultimate sign of failure.

What do you do? Show your Mac a picture of a microwave oven?!? I've never had one of those before.
Even better when the whole screen goes transparent overlay black with that symbol. But yeah..... Kernel Panics are pretty on Mac.
I have had those (Kernel Panics) on my damn mini... but never on my iBook, anyway as for mini it had to do mostly with me as I had opened it myself.
why? don't ask... curiosity killed the cat. Period.
Haven't had a kernel panic (yet), but OS X has crashed twice in just over three months. Not sure, but I think my Windows laptop crashed less

@Timan: Do you mind sending me that Kernel Panic screensaver (if that is a screen saver) or pointing out a link to me? That's an awesome screensaver and I'd probably scare myself from forgetting that I saved it as my screensaver.
Wait, how would you know the difference between the screen saver and the real thing?
Ubuntu 5.10 came with a kickass screensavers full of crashes over many operating systems...
Its nice to have this on Windows
Because if it was the real thing, the ONLY thing you could do is hold the powerbutton for three seconds. Otherwise, you can just mouse out of it.
you can't mouse out of this one gnome, you must press esc...it actually had me a bit stumped for about 5 seconds

Thats a screensaver thats on most linux distros. I can play with that that for hours.

I'm talking about a hypothetical kernel panic screensaver on Mac... I don't think one exists right now.
I don't have a Windows computer and am not talking about the BSOD funness.
That clarify a little? :cool:
I've only gotten a BSOD 4 years ago and it was because i clicked on every "Hit me and get a ps1!" those days
I used to get them only on 95 when my old CD-ROM failed to read a disc. Haven't seen one in all the XP years.
If you're getting constant kernel panics, check your hardware and firmware. My Mac Pro used to kernel panic at least 3-4 times a week and sometimes 2-3 times per day, and the culprit turned out to be my USB wireless adapter.
oh look what i found!:

it's actually not that annoying, it does sit in the memory but it doesn't do anything worse then appear every minute, and it doesn't even seem to take focus.
but maybe its the way i've set up xp...
Good. Its about time Microsoft got a bit of a sense of humour... (and accept that thier OS' have fundamental flaws)

shall do 
... this'll be really bad publicity if it catches on with everyone... somone better Digg this... hehehehe
@Timan- at least Apple's version is a little prettier with transparencies and a smooth font... and it happens less often. Its usually due to dodgy or poorly installed ram
Haha, it would have been, if it isn't old news by now.
That is still funny though, and for mac users, someone around here made a kernel panic wallpaper.
