    It's not often high quality screensavers like that come out, this is a really sick one, I must say.

    Me too, it should work in every version of windows. But if you're having problems Mac Mint should work just fine.

    Just in case you were wondering what a Mac BSOD looks like. It's actually called a kernel panic and comes in all different languages. Wait, no Spanish?!?! WTF
