Itâs been a hallmark of PC gaming (and, well, PC using) for years now: when Windows really does something wrong, users have been greeted by the dreaded âblue screen of deathâ, crashing their system. No more!
Instead, it appears as though the next version of Microsoftâs operating system, Windows 8, does something similar to the new Xbox 360 S console: give the same error, but change it just enough to make it seem different

So you can still use the acronym âbsodâ, and it still means somethingâs gone horribly wrong, but a colour change and cut-down on jargon makes it all seem just that little bit less critical
