Error Reporting Service

Default Description:

Allows error reporting for services and applictions running in non-standard environments.

Additional Information:

Calls home to Microsoft when application errors occur. I personally do not like this. I feel it is a waste of memory and resources. On the other hand, if you are experiencing system crashes often, the best way to deal with them is to report them using this tool.

Additional Reading:

None at this time.
