Microsoft is changing its iconic Blue Screen of Death once again, and its replacement is simply... depressing.

The Windows Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) is an iconic part of Microsoft's desktop operating system, but it might not be long for this world.

The new design jettisons the frowning face and QR code, as well as the familiar blue color. Based on analysis from The Verge, the screen takes on a more black color, which you might typically see when Windows is being updated. The screen being previewed by Windows insiders is painted green. We'll have to see which color eventually wins out.
