Operating system indigestion pops up over chicken sandwich ad
BORK!BORK!BORK! "Everything is better with pickles," trumpets a Wendy's sign. Everything is also better with a helping of bork, if the screen is to be believed.
Do you want bork with that?
Spotted by an eagle-eyed Register reader in Vancouver, the display shows something amiss with Windows Phone Link – although why a PC encouraging customers to drop dollars on a Dill Pickle Chicken Sandwich needs the app is anyone's guess.The error itself usually comes up when something running Windows has been a bit careless with stack memory. Perhaps there's been a stack overflow, a software conflict, or a memory shortage. The usual fix is to reach for the power button or perform a restart. The more technically minded might try to diagnose the whoopsie and fix it without a boot cycle, although had a more technically minded person set up the system in the first place, it's unlikely that the PhoneExperienceHost.exe application would have reared its ugly head in this way.
