Steve Ballmer did not write the text for the blue screen of death
-
Somehow, it ended up widely reported that Steve Ballmer wrote the blue screen of death. And all of those articles cited my article titled "Who wrote the text for the Ctrl+Alt+Del dialog in Windows 3.1?" Somehow, everybody decided to ignore that I wrote "Ctrl+Alt+Del dialog" and replace it with what they wanted to hear: "blue screen of death".
Well, seems like they were all just seeing blue.
