Windows just had an error in the error handler...

Haha I work at staples and it seems like everytime windows pushes out an "update" I got customers coming in like a flock of crows

 

It's better than "operation completed successfully" error, which is how Windows handles errors in error handling sometimes...

 

I once tried to shut down my PC and it said Error. So i pressed the actual button and it didnt turn on ever again >.<

 

That's why I always give it a bit of time before getting the updates. But I suppose it's Win 8 we're talking about, in which case I have no idea. 7 does everything I want it to do so I'm not changing any time soon (though I might give the different Linux versions a try)

 

Not all that happy with windows 8 updates either, they all seem to either crash my computer, or corrupt my installation of office. So its annoying having to fix what Microsoft thinks are "improvements..."

 

I'm running Elementary OS Luna (a linux distro), I completely forgot all the everyday quirks of Windows that people just tend to ignore nowadays.

 

That surprising.
Because I thought the whole code of windows is surrounded by try {..} catch {..}

 

windows 7 doesn't have any of those problems for me :/

 

At the risk of ruining the joke...
Exceptions are actually a rather high-level abstraction WinAPI (or POSIX) knows nothing about, and CPU itself knows even less. The ways to deal with errors used at those levels aren't really as robust as try/catch/finally framework of modern programming languages and when they themselves break down, weird stuff happens sometimes. (Not that try/catch is all that foolproof either.)
