And they actually added the BSOD screensaver

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Miscellaneous/BlueScreen.mspx

One of the most feared colors in the NT world is blue. The infamous Blue
Screen of Death (BSOD) will pop up on an NT system whenever something has
gone terribly wrong. Bluescreen is a screen saver that not only
authentically mimics a BSOD, but will simulate startup screens seen during
a system boot.

      • On NT 4.0 installations it simulates chkdsk of disk drives with
errors!

      • On Win2K and Windows 9x it presents the Win2K startup splash screen,
complete with rotating progress band and progress control updates!

      • On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 it present the XP/Server 2003
startup splash screen with progress bar!


Bluescreen cycles between different Blue Screens and simulated boots every
15 seconds or so. Virtually all the information shown on Bluescreen's BSOD
and system start screen is obtained from your system configuration - its
accuracy will fool even advanced NT developers. For example, the NT build
number, processor revision, loaded drivers and addresses, disk drive
characteristics, and memory size are all taken from the system Bluescreen
is running on.

Use Bluescreen to amaze your friends and scare your enemies!

Bluescreen runs on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server
2003 and Windows 9x (it requires DirectX).
