Windows 8 'screen of death' is deceptively cute -----

Posted on Sep 16 2011 02:42 PM by xper  in Windows | Viewed 4634 Times

If you've used a Windows-based operating system for a prolonged time, odds are that you've encountered the dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) at some point. It's the last thing you see before your computer crashes and it's a terrible sight.

But don't worry! Microsoft is easing the pain by making the BSoD strangely cute in Windows 8.

TechCrunch has called attention to the amusing change — which appears to have been discovered by someone who tried out the Windows 8 Developer Preview — and provided the screenshot seen on the right.

Yes, there really is a frowning emoticon on the new Blue Screen of Death. A cute, frowning emoticon. On one of the most annoying error screens in computing.
