thoxx19588yThese messages are not made for an audience like us - but I think is kinda better for ppl like my parents than a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL bluescreen -
nmunro31738yOr "your computer performed an illegal operation and must be shut down"
As a kid I thought I'd legitimately broken the law inadvertently and the pc would never turn on again... -

Made my day 😂😂
Microsoft's new dialog messages in their software are pretty annoying. "Want to save your changes?". "Oops, something went wrong!". "Your PC ran into a problem it couldn't handle...".
I feel these messages are unprofessionally written and that they lower the bar for acceptable computer (and English) literacy in this day and age.
Its not like I think they should give a stack trace everytime something happens but just don't dumb it down any more!
