A picture of Linus composed of Kernel oops screens.
Just two problems with that.
Nowadays, most kernel oopses aren't visible, with the user running X and suddenly it freezes.
And there are kernel oopses that don't cause a machine freeze.
That said, some of the images used for the Ballmer picture weren't BSOD's, they were GPF's.

Quoting:Nowadays, most kernel oopses aren't visible, with the user running X and suddenly it freezes.
Kernel Mode Switching is about to change that. AFAIK it's one of its goals - to make oopses visible so that users that don't know what a serial console is can report them.
