When you here the name “Microsoft”, what types of images

does it conjure in your head?

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

The problem was caused by the following: gotchaitsajoke.sys

SYSTEM_FAULT_WINSYS_BOOTSTRAP.DRV

If this is the first time you have seen this Stop Error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure all hardware and software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, please contact the manufacturer of your computer.

If problems continue, disable or remove any new hardware you may have recently installed and try rebooting. Consider booting into Safe Mode to disable any advanced hardware features first by pressing F8 to select Advanced Startup Options and select Safe Mode.

Worst.

Software.

Ever.

That being said, Microsoft is trying really hard to change this perception

by working with the Free Software/Open Software community.

I’m sure there are many more you can think of.

We’re very happy to be here.

The reason we are here is not to convert you (honestly!) but rather to let you know of some of the things we are doing to help you succeed.

Goals for Today’s Session

• Put a face to Microsoft, specifically Microsoft Canada.

• Demonstrate our honest desire to work with the Open Source Community and provide a positive contribution to it

• Show you some of the tools Microsoft has built (ourselves or with partners) to make Open Source a First Class Citizen on Windows

OUR CONTRIBUTIONSReaching out to Open Source

Believe it or not, we’ve actually been contributing and actively participating in the

open source community for a while and we’ve recently ramped it up a notch.
