Linux has something similar, kernel panics. However, with Linux you get useful information dumped on your screen.

Nothing gets logged on Linux either, just like windows and that makes sense. The kernel itself messed up and can't trust its own memory anymore. Writing to disk may cause you to fuck up your disk, so you simply stop everything.

Still though, Linux dumps useful info whereas windows just gives you this dumb useless code.
