On the other hand "Oops - kernel panic" and "core dumped" tell the
user very little. A blue screen is not intended to give information to
the end user - it's for developers, just as a Kernel panic or a core
dump is.

I don't recall the last time I saw a BSOD on any XP or Vista box I've
used to be honest.
