Well i chuckled.
Now Mac users can install the BSOD widget and when they see the IT manager approaching simply press "F12." Their screen instantly becomes filled with an image of the blue screen of death. Not only does this fool the IT manager into believing the user is adhering to the corporate standard, it also sends him scurrying back to his office as quickly as possible to avoid fixing the problem.

Thats what makes it double funny. Ive been on both sides, so i know how frustrating it is when the IT guys doesnt show up when you have a problem and i know what its like to be that IT guy, not showing up right away cause of a million other issues.

it matters to the managers. it's not really a problem to the IT guys, buzzwords and over-technical explaniations are easy ways to weasel out of it
