Japanese replacements for Microsoft error messages

In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error
messages with Haiku poetry messages. Haiku poetry has strict construction
rules - each poem has only 17 syllables; 5 syllables in the first, 7 in the
second, 5 in the third. They are used to communicate a timeless message,
often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme
brevity.

Here are some examples : maybe it will inspire you to submit your own ?

The Web site you seek
Cannot be located, but
Countless more exist.

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.



Three things are certain:
Death, taxes and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
