The Event Viewer tool in recent versions of Windows is a useful means to understand some of the things that happen on your computer, especially when you’re looking for why an error of some kind occurred.
In its simplest sense, Event Viewer records details of every single thing going on in your computer. What the operating system is doing, what applications are doing, what you’re doing.
I was looking for something just now in the event log for Windows Vista and came across some entries for the web browser, in this case Internet Explorer.
Take a look at this screenshot:
Notice anything odd?
The two red circles will give you an idea - a spelling mistake!
It’s "browser" not "bowser." I’d also give it an initial cap, in common with other descriptors.
If Microsoft programmers make a simple spelling mistake like this, what else isn’t right, I wonder?
Something to add to my overall sense of disquiet about Windows Vista.
