[dba-Tech] Windows 8 crash solution

As all new OSs are prone to crashes, Windows 8 is no exception, in fact it
is still pretty beta as far as my early adopter friends suggest. 

Here is an article that gives some insight into finding and fixing the
occasional blue screen unhappy face display; other than replacing the
unhappy face with a happy one.

Aside: the next SP is on its way as early as this month, or as late as
August and it may be called Windows9 or Windows Blue. If the next
installment is called Windows 9 then Windows 8 will be the shortest
surviving product in Microsoft's history, beating out WindowsMe, which does
suggest something.???

Let us hope that Microsoft has realized their error at presuming the
public's tolerance to product change and the new version will be very
attractive, functional and user friendly.

Some good news is that the new OS may allow virtual drives to be moved
anywhere, while still live and one possible piece of bad news, that was
reported, is that only the IE browser and the Bing search engine will be
able to operate on the new platform(s).
