Well, of course outages are desirable! Imagine having to put in a full day of work with no breaks for an outage. Why, the amount of RSI claims will sky rocket! The BSOD is just Microsoft's way of making sure that your health is protected from excessive, consecutive hours of work. Besides, "the computer is broke again" is a favored excuse that is acceptable to both management and clients! And excuses the worker from any responsibility.
