Not a hint, but a funny networking Easter egg

Not really a hint but I thought this was hilarious.
I did a Get Info on one of the PC Servers connected to my Mac when I noticed the contents of the icon on the preview area. Yes, it is a picture of the Blue Screen of Death. All the connected PC servers get this icon. Cannot tell what version of Windows BSOD this is though.
- Open a Finder window.
- Right click on a server (under 'Shared' in the Sidebar).
- Select Get Info.
I love the extra attention Apple gives to details in OS X.
[crarko adds: Another reader (titaniumtroop) set in a similar submission about the Quick Look icon for a Windows Server being the BSOD. Apple has removed so many of the good old Easter eggs it's nice to see an indication that a sense of humor still thrives in Cupertino.]
