Longhorn Surprise: 'Red Screen of Death'

"Microsoft has come up with a unique solution to the legendary Blue Screen of Death in the next version of its Windows operating system.

With the release of Longhorn, the Redmond behemoth has added a red screen to face users when their system crashes.

According to Microsoft techie and blogger Michael Kaplan, who has been experimenting with a Longhorn beta, as well as being confronted with the Blue Screen of Death, now users will also see red.

The Red Screen of Death appears to be the bigger, badder cousin to the traditional blue screen and is designed to let users know that a more serious error has occurred, Kaplan said."
