Unless you have a bigger screen at home, this is probably the biggest screen on which you’ll see a Windows error on.

Spotted this screwup at the big display ad at Suntec City, while I stopped at the traffic lights in my car about half an hour ago. Clearly, the PC used to splash the video advertisements had crashed and no one bothered to change it out.

If I were Samsung, which is featured so prominently on the billboard, I’d demand for a refund for the embarrassment!

Windows has encountered an error and need to close! I won’t pay thousands for that to appear next to my brand.

Here’s a closeup:

    great pic!

    so do you think they sent that error on to MS? :)

    The error message can be easily turned off in the Control Panel. The one who setup the system obviously neglected to do so.

    Luckily its only like 40% of the screen so its not a 100% compensation. You should have seen Suntec screen when it had a real BSOD, complete blue screen.

    Haha. Funny! It’s there for the whole world to see!
