That's WAC... And last time I checked Windows starts with a W. Could be making fun of either.

Also, this is Bungie, not MS... MS just owns Bungie, they aren't Bungie.

I could be wrong....but I believe only windows has a blue screen of death....this is also a very common easter egg in games.

Um... I've used Macs for years and have never seen a blue screen of death on one. Windows, on the other hand...

I dont think Blue screen of death occurs in windows anymore either....not it just gives you the "illigal operation" error.

What's the big fascination with the BSoD? I have never seen it in Windows 98, 2000, XP, or Vista. Last time I recall it happening was on my old Windows 95 PC.

I never said they were perfect, just that they don't get the BSoD, meaning that isn't supposed to be a Mac in the pic. Not trying to be a Mac snob or anything.

Me neither. My Mac at work though crashes/hangs on a weekly basis. But not with a bluescreen :)

I can clearly see it says "WAC" But I wanted to say Who can dare to write "MAC" directly?

If Microsoft writes MAC then Apple sues them immediately.

I guess if you flip the "w" upside down it does spell mac. But only windows OS's have the blue screen of death. But who knows, maybe Bungie was taking a not so obvious shot at apple. -shrug-

Same old "Mac vs. PC: Who doesn't crash?" debate... Nobody is perfect, and besides that, Mac OS X will always have less crashes, unless Microsoft decides to build Blackcomb (the next Windows) on UNIX... Which is highly unlikely.

And by the way, Bungie, before being bought by M$ in 2000, were focused on making Mac games. So I don't think this is intended to parody the Mac or anything like that.

Erm, actually the OS X can play games very well, just that Apple don't want to focus on the games (that's why their Apple Games department is so small).

Macs have the following graphics cards available ::ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB memory--NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB SDRAM*4*   Note you can have 4 of these in the mac--ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB SDRAM --NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 512MB SDRAM--
Nvidia has said that they will start porting more games over to the mac

Bungie is a friend of Mac, so I doubt that means Mac, they may be making fun of Windows itself.

One of my favourite BSOD in games is the one in Vampire the Masquerade : Bloodlines, which was an awesome 'Source Engine' based FPS/RPG thats rather underapreciated because it was buggy as hell, pretty much like Deus Ex with Vampires.
