Microsoft has announced it will replace the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), a staple of Windows operating systems for 40 years. Initially appearing in Windows 1.0 in 1985, the BSOD signaled total system crashes and has been part of user experience across versions. While it remains a recognizable image representing Windows failures, the updated version will feature a new color. It's important to note that the issue of unexpected crashes is not resolved; the BSOD will still appear under such circumstances.
For decades, Apple's operating system for the Mac, currently known as macOS, has featured the Blue Screen of Death on the system icon representing networked Windows PCs.
What is now known as the Blue Screen of Death debuted in Windows 1.0 in 1985, and since then, it has appeared on millions of screens—maybe billions around the world.
