Talk:Windows Error Reporting

Don't they suck? Also check here Data Execution Prevention, on how they tried to sell "Software-DEP" as a buffer overflow protection, which was obviously false advertisement.....

How can theese lemmings, sit together with government agencies and attempt to decide how trustworthy computing should look, feel and work in the interest of consumers? - Mission Impossible!

Andy - Thanks for putting up an article on Windows Error Reporting. it's an important technology. I work on the Windows Error Reporting team at Microsoft. Some of the points you made in your article were valid: If the error reporting tool crashes, it cannot send any error reports. However, I know that some of the statements you made were not accurate. Microsoft takes great pains to make sure that error reporting data is only used by the appropriate software engineers. Additionally, I wanted to take the opportunity to talk about some of the positive changes that have come from Windows Error Reporting data. So I made some style and content adjustments to this article. I cited sources both from Microsoft and from mainstream media. Please feel free to edit. Thanks, -- Steve Greenberg, Seattle, WA
