Don't do it, as the BSOD was part and parcel of a demonic methodology designed to enrage MS users to no end when the OS crashed, particularly often when NT ruled the roost.

Microsoft is killing its infamous "Blue Screen of Death" after more than four decades. The notorious error message will soon be set against a black background.

The technology giant made the announcement in a blog post on Thursday as it outlined wider measures to improve the resilience of the Windows operating system.

"Now it's easier than ever to navigate unexpected restarts and recover faster," the company wrote.

The efforts by Microsoft come in light of the 2024 Crowdstike incident which led to a mammoth IT outage, crashing millions of Windows systems across the globe.

The "Blue Screen of Death" or Blue Screen error was displayed if a serious problem caused Windows to shut down or restart unexpectedly to prevent data loss.

This is akin to George Carlin explaining why Shell Shock is far more effective in describing trauma in wartime vs PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) as MS is doing the same thing via corporate speak in ending the most effective way possible in showing us when Windows exited the scene, as stated before, at the worst possible time. :)
