Blue Screen of Death in Windows 8 was less gloomy

We Windows users who already know the past of the platform, we are accustomed to the familiar BSOD or blue screen of death in good Portuguese. It appears when we least expect it and usually much descriptive before forcing the inevitable reboot. But Windows 8, which had its pre-released for download yesterday, at Microsoft decided that it would be a little less boring. And it seems he could.



The new blue screen was more friendly, and now has a smiley (which seems to stare at the unfortunate owner of the computer, trying to offer some comfort to ease the pain of probable data loss or corrupted files. The rest of the wording in free translation are "Your PC has encountered a problem that could not control and now need to reboot. You can search online for the error" followed by the error string. Below is an accountant who takes a few seconds before the reboot.

Obviously this is just the preview release of Windows 8 and there is no guarantee that we will see it in the future, when the system is released. But we hope that more friendly version of this BSOD is maintained.
