Microsoft is changing the infamous blue screen — that you never want to see. In a blog post on Thursday, Microsoft said it is "streamlining the unexpected restart experience" and adding "quick machine recovery, a recovery mechanism for PCs that cannot restart successfully." But the big change people will notice right away (well, hoping you never have to see it) is that the color of the "blue screen of death," which has been around for 40 years, will now be black. Or, as TechCrunch notes, the blue screen of death will now be the "black screen of death."
