blue screen of death ?

microsoft is renowned for having its operating systems give users a 'blue screen' with an error message, it seems microsofts new operating system longhorn will have a red screen of death.

Quote:
Now the next generation of Vole's Windows, dubbed Longhorn, has an addition to the †˜Blue Screen of Deathââ‚ÆšÂ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢.

On his bog here, Microsoft techie Michael Kaplan, who has been playing with a Longhorn beta, describes how the Red Screen of Death appears.

Oooooooooh multi colour !!!
I guess the red is to help symbolize your boiling blood as you hit the roof when your PC crashes.

FYI
You can change the colour of the BSOD
