Vista Ships: "Show us your Wow"

Hello, I'm a Mac ... and I'm a PC.

PC, why do you look just like me? Well, rather than using the processor to do real work, like copying your files or searching your hard disk, I think it's important to show you pictures of puppies.

That's just so cool . Wait until I can put my windows in a blender, just like you (you'll need a hardware upgrade for that).

Microsoft, I'd show you my "Wow", but I might get arrested.

Steve

Best compile error ever!

Here is a boring line of C code:

createJavaVM = findSymbol(jniLibrary, _T_ECLIPSE("JNI_CreateJavaVM"));

On a C compiler that shall remain nameless, forgetting to cast the result (using (JNI_createJavaVM)) gives the following:

"../eclipseJNI.c", line 193: warning: assignment type mismatch:

That was easy to figure out, wasn't it?
