If you tried “Binging” on Bing.com this evening, you would have been greeted with the following:

Internal Server Error – Read
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Reference #3.64941160.1259895025.0

Google NEVER goes down, and if Microsoft wants to become the number one search engine, they better pick up the pace. Bing currently has 10% of the search market. You can take a guess who has the other 90%.

Update: Bing is now back up. That is, if you care. I use Google and have since 2003.

It’s been two days since my reinstall, a clean install, of Windows 7. If you have read the last post I wrote, “Endless Problems with Windows 7” you can see that I had a great deal of issues. So with all of that in mind, I decided that it would be best for me to simply do a clean install of Windows 7, just to get out the bugs from the last install.

Now, two days after the second install, Windows 7 seems to be working great. No errors, no major issues, it’s finally starting to act how Windows 7 should act. Although I have gotten one issue, minor of course. I was on the IRC client, Xchat, and it somehow threw Windows into Basic. Don’t know what caused it, but I hear that this has been happening with the IRC client mIRC as well. No big issue, just closed out Xchat, and it was fine.

So, so far everything is running very well, I will keep everyone updated.

Today, I was going to my PC to burn some audio files to CD. I start up Windows XP on my PC that I built myself. Now, mind you, this is the third PC I have built with no problems. And yes, it has the neon glow, blu-ray burner, etc.

The specs on this particular PC are as follows:

Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3.66 GHz
3 GB of Ram
Two 160GB Hard Drives and a 40GB Backup drive
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3
I go to start up Nero, and burn the first CD with no problems. I go to insert another CD, and I get a bloody welcome to a BSOD. So I reboot.

I do the same process again, and BSOD #2 appears. I reboot.

I makes it to the Windows XP welcome screen, and BSOD #3 appears. I reboot, this time with a Windows 7 disc in hand.

I install Windows 7, with no trouble, and finish my CD burning tasks.

I think Nero may have killed my Windows XP OS. And if that’s all it takes to kill an OS, thanks Microsoft. So here’s to Windows 7!

It’s a good thing I have several Macs. Those are my primary systems. And they never fail. NEVER.

But I am still a fan of Windows. I grew up on Windows, mostly. My father had a Macintosh Performa in the early 90’s, which I still have to this day.
