Could be... they finally changed the color, and the famous Blue Screen of Death is now the Black Screen of Death. Apparently the acronym BSOD was so firmly entrenched in software code and documentation, not to mention common internet usage, that they had to go with Black, since Beige didn't render well, and Buttercup was too gay even for Microsoft.
