Via El Reg, Richard Chirgwin asks if anyone has seen a dramatic failure of Microsoft's OS. One assumes that he is referring to very public instances.
In Topper style, he starts off with a real beauty[1] that was spotted in Thailand.
In the comments, cornz 1 mentions seeing every screen at Schiphol Airport (Amsterdam) BSoD'd; Shadow Systems says he had to go to the other side of town when his branch bank's ATM BSoD'd; Robert Helpmann wasn't thrilled when the hotel elevator that was to take him up 20something storeys was showing a BSoD; James 51 also notes that Blue Screens are not a thing of the past, as his wife's Windows 10 update BSoD'd.

Hat tips to TechWorm (though I wish you wouldn't put parts of your content behind scripts) and to Archive.is (which will run scripts for you on their machines).

My mother called, said her computer had performed an illegal function, wanted to know if she should call the police. Never occured to her with the 409 scam, though. And a blue screen of death killed my grandfather. It said, "fatal error". He said, "sorry", and went to make his maker, which thankfully resides no where near Remond, WA. This could spread. It's like the Ring: Or the RotRing of death, also courtesy of Micro$Oprt. Bastards. Killing my family slowly. Now only I am left, locked in my fortress of solicitude, running only linux, but worried about the systemd. They howl, when them come. I batten the doors. So far I have been able to keep it at bay, but it is only a matter of time.
