    How crazy are MicroSoft?? Shouldn't THEY be trying to make US NEVER see
    the BSOD rather than telling us the BSOD (Blue) will become the BSOD
    (Black)??

    I wonder if they would ever consider making the error number larger.
    I'm kinda sick of the "three point font" idea.

    If you want to play with it, you could benefit from a utility
    in this orbit.

    +1! Someone, I forget who, once said that fundamentally to show an
    error message is an error in itself, implying that instead the problem
    should have been solved. Perhaps that's not possible in every
    circumstances, because one cannot predict every possible combination of circumstances, but it has to be the right situation to aim for.

    The logical extension of this is that the telephone number for technical support should be the CEO. The product design is obviously faulty if
    the CEO receives any calls!

    You neglected to mention in YOUR post that this is a change in the
    Insider release channel. Don't just post URLs to articles. Mention
    what they are HERE.

    Mostly it was a sarcastic dig at the BSOD (blue) but to address your main concern, the color will eventually show up as the BSOD (black) to everyone.

    It will only be green in the meantime.

    In fairness, from my pov, I can't remember the last time I saw one.
    Weeks or months ago. Maybe a year.

    OTOH, I don't like this because now I have to change all my references
    to GSOD and then later to BlSOD. That will take a lot of tiem.

    I thought that's what 'search & replace' was for.

    .... and what's the Bet that that CEO's Phone would be the first in
    which an internal Fault would occur?? ;-)
