That depends. An OOPS at least includes a recognizable
register dump. :-) Not sure where the registers are on
the NT stop screen (presumably they're somewhere, along
with part of one of the stacks [*] at the time it bombed),
and the Win95 stop screen had nothing but the message
"Sorry, I'm dead" (paraphrased). Panics contain
little more than a message, which hopefully someone can
intercept.
[*] there are two stacks, at least: the user's stack and
the much smaller interrupt stack. There might be a third
stack for the kernel, but I'd have to look.
