Microsoft Announces End of ‘Blue Screen of Death,’ Users Left Without Closure

(Worthy Satire) – In a stunning move that has rocked the tech world and therapists alike, Microsoft has officially retired the iconic Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), ending decades of nostalgic trauma and late-night sobbing.

The company announced the decision in a press release that immediately crashed upon opening, prompting many to question whether the BSOD was truly gone or just lurking in Safe Mode.

“We’re replacing the Blue Screen with something warmer and more user-friendly,” said Microsoft’s Head of Emotional Computing, Serenity Byte. “The new error screen features a soft pastel gradient and a sad emoji that gently weeps while your system collapses.”

Longtime Windows users were devastated. “I’ve had breakups that hurt less than losing the BSOD,” said IT technician Frank DeFreeze. “It was the only consistent thing in my life—my dad left, my dog ran away, but that blue screen never failed me.”

Meanwhile, conspiracy theorists claim the BSOD isn’t truly gone but has been outsourced to Bing Chat, where it now responds with cryptic haikus and the occasional blue background for old times’ sake.

Grief counselors have been dispatched to corporate offices nationwide, while Gen Z users—who never knew the rage of losing a 15-page essay to a fatal memory dump—have taken to TikTok to mourn ironically with #BlueScreenChallenge dance tributes.

In unrelated news, Apple celebrated by releasing an update that causes Macs to whisper “I told you so” whenever a Windows user enters the room.
