Problem: USB devices plugged into Windows machine won't cause a Blue Screen.
Symptoms: Upon plugging a USB device into their windows based machine, users may be mystified by the lack of a blue screen error as required in the windows user frustration guidelines.
Workaround: Often times, windows will wait until you have started an important task or have gone for a certain period of time (usually all day) without saving your document. Windows will then initiate a Blue Screen Error, selecting a random device on your system to blame for the error. Windows will then overwrite the contents of your "My Documents" folder with several useless memory dumps, in addition to several jpeg images of possums.
Status: Microsoft is to lazy to care about this problem. They recommend upgrading to a newer operating system that will more consistently fail.
