Making Windows 2000 CDs into rocket fins in an ironic way to demonstrate how Windows can contribute to stability. This is a point many Linux users feel strongly about. Linux has a reputation for rock-solid stability. We know it isn't necessary to reboot your computer when you change the configuration. And there's no excuse to tolerate crashes.
Life can be better than that.
We're making a point of it. This time the parachute will be blue just to add to the irony. A Blue Screen of Death indicates that a Windows system has crashed. But this blue parachute, if successfully deployed, prevents a crash of the rocket. Feel free to joke about it - after all, the whole event is just for fun.
