From FuckMicrosoft.com forums. (The origional news article seems to be down, but we are assured that this information is true...
MORE EXPLODING CD ROM's
Nick Stroud received a mail from Paul Shackleton a Senior IT Technician from Milton Keynes Council who had an incident with an exploding CD ROM.
"We had a disk explode earlier today, and eject a sizeable chunk across the office, ricocheting off a pc on a desk, and impacting an office dividing partition. To say we were startled is a slight understatement! It made "one helluva bang"!!
The server concerned is one of my "spare" boxes... It is a DELL Poweredge 1300, and the drive that had the cd in is a SAMSUNG CD-Master 48E, model SC-148. The disc that disintegrated was a MICROSOFT NT4.0 cd-rom!
Please be vigilant and check ALL CD media before use.
This is the actual drive and disk.
(Huge pictures ahead..)

Is Dell finally taking countermeasures against M$?
