Windows 8’s New “Blue Screen Of Death”: Now Even Sadder Than Before

Microsofts infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) has struck dread into the hearts of Windows users since it’s debut all those years ago. Although the Blue Screen of Death is typically filled with lots of complicated info that nobody understand, Windows 8 has revised the blue screen of death to make it less complicated, although much more depressing.

While Microsoft’s all-too-common equivalent of the kernel panic is still blue, Microsoft has now added a cute little frowny-face emoticon, and gives you an error code which it says you can look up on the internet.

Yes – The uninformative page of useless text is gone now, likely never to return. Personally however, I can’t help but think that it’s sad that the BSoD appears so often that Microsoft felt it was in need of a trendy update… hat-tip to geek.com for sharing.
