Longhorn to feature "Red Screen of Death"

Submitted by platypus matt on May 11, 2005 - 12:16.

There's a report on CNN that Microsoft's new OS features a
Red Screen of Death which will be used only for SERIOUS errors. Chilling. My guess is that this is a bad move. The Blue Screen of Death isn't nearly as alarming; that blue tone is almost peaceful. Red--well, do we really want people seeing red everytime their Windows crashes? The only people who'll be happy about this decision are the monitor manufacturers who'll get to replace those broken by aggravated Longhorners.

"It's unlikely that the problem will affect many users of the next generation operating system."

Yeah, right. This is Microsoft we are talking about and Longhorn is implementing a lot of changes from XP. I'm sure a lot of us will be "seeing red" :)
