Longhorn to get Red Screen of Death
Microsoft has taken a novel approach to ensuring users see the
hated Blue Screen of Death less often: it has created a red
version for Longhorn to indicate more serious problems

But will it be any more informative?
Nahh it will still say "geek" speak like the following ;
" IRQ_LESS_THAN OR EQUAL TO" in AA001 10010 00A00A 00A001 :)
Why can't it say something on the lines like ;
Memory issue - get some better memory - this has errors galore... look I'm crashing %n times a day :)
Great red instead of blue, I am sure it will still happen. To be fair to MS I dont ever think I have had a blue screen crash under XP.
Thats going to take awhile to adjust to!.. Oh NO RSOD!!.. :D..
But yeah as said, wonder if it will actually give better information to the root of the problem.. ;)
I'm reminded of Microsoft's assertion re Windows 3.1 as opposed to 3.0 - "We've got rid of the Unexpected Application Errors!"; yes, by renaming them to General Protection Faults....
You would have thought it was possible. Makes you think why they havn't done it.Quote:
