In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal Microsoft error messages with Haiku poetry messages.
Haiku poetry has strict construction rules. Each poem has only three lines, 17 syllables: five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, five in the third.

Haiku is used to communicate a timeless message often achieving a wi****l, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity - the essence of Zen:


Your file was so big.
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
------------------
The Website you seek
Cannot be located, but
Countless more exist.
-----------------
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
----------------
Program aborting
Close all that you have worked on.
You ask far too much.
----------------
Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
---------------
Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.
--------------
First snow, then silence.
This thousand-dollar screen dies
So beautifully.
--------------
With searching comes loss
And the presence of absence:
"My Novel", not found.
--------------
The Tao that is seen
Is not the true Tao-until
You bring fresh toner.
---------------
Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is down.
--------------
A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.
---------------
Three things are certain:
Death, taxes and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
---------------
You step in the stream,
But the water has moved on.
This page is not here.
--------------
Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.
--------------
Serious error.
All documents have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
