FIRST!!1!
First error report sent to microsoft…nothing changed.
Second error report sent… nothing changed.
Third error report sent… nothing changed.
fourth error report sent… nothing changed.
fifth error report sent… nothing changed
sixth error report sent… bought a mac
Fourth… what are you talking about ?
C-C-C-C-Combo breaking error report sent…. pattern changed.
Six hundred and thirteenth error report sent… and they issue a security patch that actually causes Hitler to flash across the screen periodically when you’re not looking.
Is he well-hung?
Ubuntu FTW.
I hate to be this guy, but whoever made this graph obviously doesn’t understand this at all. About 90% of all windows crashes are caused by by faulty device drivers. The Windows error reporting service is an opt-in-service that any vendor can take advantage of, which provides them with detailed debug information of what went wrong. This gives all these vendors a fighting chance to find and fix the obscure bug that only happens with, for example, your very specific system configuration (combination of mother board and graphics card, or such).
Before you call this service worthless, can you tell me how many times you’ve repeatedly reported crashes, waited for a few months (the typical length of a release cycle for software att most companies) and then upgraded the drivers?
Still nothing changes.
O RLY?
Your made up statistics are so out of date. I get these error report popups mostly because some malware was incompatible with the applications I’m trying to run, or the other malware infesting the PC.
Can malware writers opt-in to this service?
O RLY?
You must work for Windows XD
Its microsoft, windows is the operating system thy make! Oh, i was thinking the exact same thing!
That you can just turn off error reporting in like four clicks!
hmm…i can’t see this graph.
i’m running windows 7.
lolz
emil is wrong.
nutin happens in 3 years
999,999,999,998th sent,nothing changes.

It’s a Microsoft product. If it wasn’t bugg(er)ed, they couldn’t sell you the next collection of bugs… erm, I mean version.
Failure is not an option, it comes bundled with the software!
And here’s another one!
Failure is always an option! Unless you’re using microsoft, then its the only option.
This is why I never look at the comments; people like Emil gotta read too much into it and thus ruin the humor of it. Don’t overanalyze everything.
An Error report? Oh I better send this!
Missing the obvious here – Microsoft’s error reporting is in general one-click – no details to fill out. All the ones I’ve used on Ubuntu, though, need to you fill out a page of forms. And then it’s useless because you don’t have the -dev option installed, so it can’t generate a usable backtrace. What’s up with that?
Actually, there’s a difference. The report will be sent to MS, which will not bother about 3rd-party software, and so it won’t get fixed.
On Ubuntu (with the nice app Canonical provides), you’ll fill out a bit (oh, come on, saying what you were doing isn’t that hard, is it?) and there’s a quite high chance that it’ll get fixed.
Also it’s -debug (debugging symbols), not -dev (developer headers).
i remember those good old days, before i got a mac
There you are. I was looking for you. You’re that guy.
I have a mac and the safari froze. I sent an error report and nothing happened. same thing. cooler looking laptop
AS IF macs were the best option.
There’s nothing wrong with the PC, the real flaw is in Windows. A PC with Linux is a cheaper and equally efficient option.
Ah, but there is a difference. They will have more of your personal details (as if that matters in fixing an error)
thats why i like to use ubuntu sometimes. it crashes and burns and wrecks my server configuration, just like windows.
but then i get back to my decent linux distro (opensuse, slack, arch, etc) and get none of that ubuntu crap.
and no, canonical is not that good. they never give back to the community. just look on how many kernel patches they send and compare it to how many red hat or novell send. and kernel is only an example of how PR machine crap canonical is.
Ah, yes, that’s true (well, neither ever happened to me). But what Canonical actually does, is bringing GNU/Linux to the users that don’t need to know how stuff works. And that’s a great thing.
I much prefer to use Arch Linux (or Debian), mainly because I get a clean system and can install only the stuff I need, but I’d rather tell new users to use Ubuntu, as it won’t be hard for them to get started.
Start recommending Mint. Really. It’s freakin’ awesome.
I’m one of those “just work” people. I can geek around a bit if I need to, but I really don’t want to. Ubuntu wasn’t good enough for me. It felt half-assed, inconsistent, and despite its claims of user friendliness i still had to go into the Terminal just to install Java (none of the packages worked).
Mint is built off Ubuntu, and I finally gave that a try a few months ago. It’s amazing. All the codecs are already installed, it’s way more stable, and all the stuff that it says it does, it actually does.
I think Mint is way more user friendly than Ubuntu. Mostly because it’s just better done than Ubuntu.
that is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo true. lolol
Microsoft ask you to send this report to collect information. with that tool, they able to correct many bug from a windows version to another. This will not solve any problem on your computer….
I send error reports all the time… and they DON’T have you fill anything out. After you click yes, the computer generates the report all by itself.
Only 1 question: How can I opt-it-out?
