NEWS: Windows Error Reporting & Corporate Error Reporting

The Windows Error Reporting program is the name of a little known program that might be useful to a lot of software development customers of ours.  It’s basically how companies can get access to crash data we at Microsoft collect through the "Dr. Watson-An-Unrecoverable-Error-has-occurred". This is a great opportunity for anyone that writes and sells software to find out what’s going on with regard to stablity issues with their software products.  Here is a description of the program:

Remember:  This is a program for people that WRITE SOFTWARE to enable them to collect data through us about the failures in their particular software. 
 
If you represent a corporate Microsoft customer interested in collecting ALL CRASH data in your company and putting it into your own database instead of funnelling it to Microsoft, you can do this using "Corporate Error Reporting" which is a downloadable software service for Windows 2000+ that is available to Volume Licensed customers.  (Folks with Select Agreements or Enterprise Agreements)
