Reason
Arguably one of the greatest and most infuriating things to have come out of the digital revolution is the "screen of death", which has been as much a symbol of our ongoing effort to perfect our digital technology as the computer, internet, and other digital products and services have been a monument to our technological progress. Here, we have the famous Blue Screen of Death unique to Microsoft related products, whose software could be said to have jump started the PC revolution so many years ago. In difference to the fact that this is a frustrating, if iconic, piece of our ongoing digital revolution history and the quest for better digital hardware and software, I am hereby submitted for Featured Picture consideration the Windows XP version of the Blue Screen of Death. Note that this is an .SVG vectorized image, and therefore while not ostensibly at the 1000px minimum needed to qualify for FP status it should not be an issue given the ability of .svg files to be resized.
