Apparently, if it goes well, Microsoft Windows 8 or whatever they'll call it will change the background color of their BSOD screen from blue, to black.

Very newsworthy if you ask me.

... so does that mean that people won't be able to tell the different from a blue black screen and their computer dying or shutting off? xP

at least make it a special colour like RED. red is obviously a sign of badness. O:

Well, the only time I got Blue Screens of Death upon startup of my new Windows XP computer was because of the Linksys Wireless Adapter problems. Not anymore with wired ethernet.

Black Screen of Death just doesn't have the same ring to it.

If you're smart enough to have a job that pays enough for you to be able to buy a computer, you should be smart enough to know the difference between a shutdown and an error screen.

I've only had one BSOD and it was my fault. I forget what I was doing, but I remember being proud that I had proven that it doesn't have to be Windows.

i have a computer. i just don't want a windows. xDDD i actually loaded windows for the first time in months. i had to reboot from a backup because 'the file was corrupted' or some kind of nonsense. >:| oh well. xD

and. shut down screens are black for me. O: i don't have a screen saver, so when my computer falls asleep, it's black. DOES AN ERROR SCREEN HAVE TEXT ON IT?

i've not had a blue screen/black screen/error screen in awhile. xD

lol I'm joking around :P

Yes, an error screen says that there is an error, and it shows what's wrong and stuff.

That's when you go to a second computer and look it up on google. oh wait you only have one? well go to a local library. oh wait, either the library doesn't exist/is too far away, or you need to fix it now? Well... tough luck

i'm pretty good at fixing my computer these days. i guess being challenged to do things yourself made me try it. :]

i've learned a lot. :D!

like how to make my computer touch screen software work which i don't wanna do

[wildgoosespeeder]

I don't think it should matter because I don't want to see any death screen.

I've been clean of BSODs on my laptop since I clean installed Windows XP in late spring/early summer of 2010. ;D

I only had one BSOD on my laptop since I first bought it in early fall 2009 but that was when I was running Windows Vista.
