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‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢.
On his bog here, Microsoft techie Michael Kaplan, who has been playing with a Longhorn beta, describes how the Red Screen of Death appears.

Impressive. A techie who can give a report whilst on the toilet.

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