Yes! We just need to put that on a black background to make it correct and we're good to go!
Seriously, I always liked the phrase "software failure" because it was blunt, to the point and didn't beat around the bush regarding what was really meant by that message being displayed. The "Sorry, a system error has occurred." box on Macintoshes with the restart button you'd try to click (assuming the system was still that responsive) really tried to sugar over computer crashes and PCs running Microsoft operating systems never crash so succinctly or elegantly. My view has always been that if a fatal error should occur, the computer should be well designed enough to crash cleanly.
