Title: M$ does something mad.

And kinda cool. A Blue Screen of Death (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Miscellaneous/BlueScreen.mspx) screen saver!

V 3.2 so I suppose it isn't entirely new, but still.

I highly do not recommend.  It switches resolutions, and then all kinds of wierdness happened when I came out of the screensaver, like my Google sidebar moved over to the left.

Maybe it forces a BSOD, then attempts to recover from it?   :-[

No idea, but it certainly wasn't just a screensaver.
