> Haiku poetry _Microsoft
Bookmark topic
In Japan, they have thoughtfully replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error messages with Haiku poetry. Haiku is used to communicate a timeless thought, often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through simplicity and brevity. Here are some Haiku error messages from Japan:
The destination you seek cannot be found, but countless more exist.
Chaos reigns within. Reflect, repent, and reboot. Order shall return.
Program aborting: Save and close. You ask too much.
Windows NT crashed. I am the Blue Screen of Death. No one hears your screams.
Yesterday it worked. Today it does not. Windows is like that.
Your file was large. It might have been useful to you, but now it is gone.
Stay the patient course. Of little worth is your ire. The network is down.
A crash reduces your complex machine to a stone.
Three things in life are certain: Death, taxes and lost data. One of them has just occurred.
You step in the stream, but the water has moved on. This page is not here.
Out of memory. You try to hold the sky, but you never will.
Having been erased, the document you seek must now be retyped.
Serious error. All remedies have disappeared. Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
Save. Above all, save, or it is written in the clouds

Very nice. Shame they haven't done one for my favourite (non-Microsoft believe it or not) error of all:
'No keyboard was detected. Press F1 to continue'
