Nice Bug, Windows Vista Edition

Apparently Windows Vista ships with some pretty amusing bugs, one of them being an error message which reads "Error. The operation completed successfully." Microsoft will hear that one ringing in their ears for years. Anyway, someone turned this bug into a great bit of culture jamming in Prague...

Nice Bug

Photo by andyket, discovered in the Public Computer Errors pool on Flickr. This is one of those interesting cases where the computer error does not just disrupt meaning, but contributes to a new one. The popup window plays the role of a geisha's fan.

It would be interesting to see wheatpaste or other graffiti simulating such glitches on non-computer-generated advertisements. Anyone seen this?
