The Blue Screen of Death

The Blue Screen of Death

"Who do you trust with your mission-critical applications?"

Often mistaken as a commercial, this short film was produced by a contractor to entertain the Sun Microsystems sales force at a sales conference. It, and others like it, were produced during a time when Sun was fighting against the growth of Windows use in corporate environments. The joke is about how unstable Windows NT generally was, while Sun's Solaris (Unix) was superior.
