Windows 8 Blue Screen Of Death: Now With More Frowny Face Emoticon (Finally!)

Because your mom won't understand what's happening unless there's an emoticon to relay appropriate emotional information, the new Window's 8 blue screen of death features a lil frowny face and generic message about the operating system shitting the bed.
