Taiwan has a lot of public signs that depend on XP machines to drive the displays. Here’s some public computer signs that crashed which I just so happened to be next to take an embarrassing picture of. 
| There are many of this type of signage along a very popular road in Taipei. I just happened to be walking by this one when it was malfunctioning. You can tell it’s Windows as the error says something in Chinese followed by Windows\System32\Drivers\Ntfs.sys |  |
| Taipei’s rapid transit is called the MRT. All the MRT stations have plasma widescreens to show the status of the next train along with some promotional material. Unfortunately this one doesn’t seem to be cooperating. You can clearly see the XP desktop here. Looks to be the English version of Windows too. This sign crashed at the Taipei Main Station, the central hub for all transportation in Taipei. |  |
| Last but not least, it can’t get more embarrassing than this. This is a gargantuan sign at a very busy street intersection. Instead of showing the normal advertisement, it’s showing some application that drives the huge display. I watched it for a few seconds while the operator was clicking around trying to get the sign up and running again. Here’s a picture of application the operator was clicking around around while trying to fix the display. |  |
Gotta love these public computer crashes!
