We're all familiar with the Windows BSOD, but Microsoft is now making it simpler in appearance—and getting rid of the iconic blue color in the process.

Windows' Blue Screen of Death is perhaps the most recognizable error screen of all time. However, Microsoft is now changing it.

The new design jettisons the frowning face and QR code, as well as the familiar blue color. Based on analysis from The Verge, the screen takes on a more black color, which you might typically see when Windows is being updated. The screen being previewed by Windows insiders is painted green. We'll have to see which color eventually wins out.
