Popup Study Confirms Most Users Are Idiots
danieltdp writes "Testing students at a University, psychologists made many of them click on a dialog box that in effect said: 'You are about to install some malware. Malware is bad. By clicking yes you are failing the Windows Darwin Test.' Nearly half of them said all they cared about was getting rid of these dialogs."
You're the retard.
She has a masters degree and was working on her PHd at the time. Really dumb,
That type of person drives me insane, since, having such degrees makes them think they are superior to us plebeians.
but good in the sack!
Hope you had condoms!

One of the main problems with what you speak of, the special effects for crash dialogs, is that as soon as you do that, they'll be another slashdot article claiming that the OS writers are censoring applications and is wrong and a violation of users rights to not let them do anything they want. Also its a violation of developers rights and that no one should develop for the platform because its not 'truely open'.
It won't matter what OS does it, unless its linux, then it'll be good if Stallman had anything to do with it. Any other OS would be a pita for doing it, even the open source ones.
The truth of the matter is, you really can't fix stupid, which almost all users are. I've seen developers blindly click OK on windows crash notifications, the program they are working on disappears, then they wonder what happened and why it didn't notify them. No joke. It won't really matter what you do to make the dialog stand out, it will be displayed so often due to buggy apps that no one will care.
If you use the car analogy, think about if the idiot lights in your car turned on as often as you see a worthless popup. Everyone would just ignore them, but fortunately for the masses, these lights generally stay off until there actually is a problem. On that same note, I know several people that completely ignore the oil change light since it comes on often (they drive a lot of miles on a daily basis)

Stop deluding yourself into thinking that when you find a gaggle of idiots to agreew with you that somehow their agreement means anything about the value of your opinion.

"You're funny."
I know.
"But if you really want to believe I've been logging out to troll you AC, go right ahead. That just makes it funnier."
Well, you lying about it makes it "funnier" still.
And what's even "funnier" is that you obsessively denying it.
