The new black screen appears to be identical to the green one
shared by the company in March. It bears an uncanny resemblance
to the Windows 11 update screen, with centre-aligned text telling
users that the computer is restarting because of an error and
the percentage that reveals the progress of the crash log
collection process.
Users will also see a stop code with an error that can be
shared with system administrators, while the black screen
will also inform them about the process that failed (for
example, it will tell users that a particular driver file
failed, such as rdbss.sys).
It's also worth noting that this isn't the first time that
Microsoft has announced that the BSOD warning would be
changed from blue. Back in 2021, the company tested a
black version of the warning message, but that version
also included the text emoticon with a colon and a
bracket (a frown).
. . .
Well THAT fixes it ! When in doubt, just change
the color :-)
Admittedly Linux boot-failure messages/logs are
also almost impossible to interpret unless you
are an ultra-anal hyper-nerd who hasn't moved
from the PC for ten years .........
Clue - we need a generally BETTER fail-mode
solution - much clearer defs of what bombed
and why and maybe some automated fixes or at
least really good instructions. In short a
"system spy" routine that runs even before
official boot.

Maybe they finally decided to follow IBM's idea with the black trap screens of death on OS/2.

A percentage? Will they then finally re-add progress bars?

Windows 4 did it better, couldn't you just choose the background color
of your preference from a set of colors? It was blue by default, but
could be e.g. green.

A lot of messages do provide information to try to address the
problem. This is often much more than certain systems provide.
No need to insult people who have at least some knowledge to get
something from these messages.

So it is still BSOD: Black instead of Blue!

The underlying OS seems to have been released

All too many times we've had our noses rubbed in the basic marketing
fact that it's better to be first than best.

If anything, it's the hardware that wasn't ripe
(i.e. no memory protection). As for software being
released prematurely, that's been going on for far
longer than that. All too many times we've had our
noses rubbed in the basic marketing fact that it's
better to be first than best.
