One line of html code to crash Winblows
RaZoR1394:
Doesn't look like a nVidia issue. I've heard from a lot of people who have gotten the bluescreen or reboot with ATI cards. Some with nVidia cards also only get slowdowns and not BSOD/reboot.
Looks like kernel or driver issue. Still if It's a driver issue It's the fault of Windows because it lets the graphics driver run on "ring 0" (kernel level) which is idiotic. In other systems graphics drivers run on "ring 3" for ex X.

yeah, there goes my nvidia theory. Curious - what does the bluescreen say on machines with ATI cards? Does it reference the ati driver?
Chipset driver issue perhaps?
MarathoN:
I tested this on Windows 2000 and I have an Nvidia Geforce FX 5700 card, my system hung, but I tried it on Slackware 10.1 and it was fine (flat green picture with a hidden norwegian? website bottom-left)
I also got people with ATI cards to test it, and their system either hung or rebooted, although one of those people has an NForce chipset.
RaZoR1394:
I tried the webpage on Windows mobile 2003SE (PDA) and it showed the "You're lucky..." text instead. Seems it only affects desktop Windows.

Dude, there are drivers in linux run at ring0. If they cause a kpanic will you blame linux?
