Microsoft "Microsoft has unveiled a new touch-sensitive coffee table-shaped computer called 'Surface'. Designed to do away with the need for a traditional mouse and keyboard, users can instead use their fingers to operate the computer. Also designed to interact with mobile phones placed on the surface, Microsoft says it will initially sell the unit to corporate customers. These will include hotels, casinos, phone stores and restaurants." Instant update: More details and a video.

You're right, from XP on it's been red instead of blue, if I recall correctly. The reason you don't see them is that there is a key in the registry that reboots the system instead...

It's still blue in XP and yes autoreboot can be changed in the registry but it can also be changed in the safe mode menu after a blue screen reboot. I still see a lot of MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION and BAD_POOL_CALLER blue screens on XP. Rolling back the registry usually does the trick.
