It's not there to make you miserable, it's there to keep you informed and in some cases prevent damage from occurring. Mine there told me mostly what happened; as you can see, the graphics device (or at least the driver in charge of it) dun goofed. It's not always that specific, though, for sometimes it will either leave a weird message at the top or in the worst possible case nothing but a stop error ID. Both are useful if you're able to look them up in a sea full of irrelevant sites.

Remember that it's there for you. It cares about you. It would without a doubt jump in front of a virtual train for you.

Why did I make this topic? To be quite honest, I have no idea! It just kind of happened.

Is that Windows 8? It seems really dumbed down. I'd feel more comfortable with a Stop Error code other than just a string given.

Yeah, those classic Windows XP BSODs are annoying, but they do tell you important information on occasion. Plus, without BSODs, we wouldn't have Yoshi vs. Windows.
Course clear! You got a card.

It could be worse. Windows 8 could say "You can search for the error online: HAL INITIALIZATION FAILED. But before you do anything, please remember to set Bing as your default search provider."

Windows 8 is both disappointing and improvement.

Miss the old BSOD or at least add what causes the BSOD in more specific details.
