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.

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.
