Windows Error Reporting (WER) is a technology introduced by Microsoft with Windows XP and included in later versions and Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0. Based on the technology previously known as Dr. Watson, it provides post-error debug information (a memory dump) to the developer of an application that crashes or stops responding on a user's desktop. While Dr.Watson left the memory dump on the user's local machine for debugging, Windows Error Reporting offers to send the memory dump to Microsoft using the internet. No data is sent without the user's consent. When a dump (or other error signature information) reaches the Microsoft server, it is analyzed and a solution is sent back to the user when one is available. Solutions are served using Windows Error Reporting Responses. Windows Error Reporting runs as a Windows service and can optionally be entirely disabled. If Windows Error Reporting itself crashes, then an error reports that the original crashed process cannot be sent.

One of the better parts of Windows, helps Microsoft find bugs and fix those crashes.
Damn, used for 4 minutes and 57 seconds! That's too much!
The fact that this tool does exsist is already bad...
This crap does nothing useful at all.
worst software ever !!
Sucks arse.
Hate it.
Lulz why is this on here
So what problems is this supposed to report exactly?
Just as Dr. Watson was before it. :P
It's um... useless.
Something crashes, windows gets the info, nothing happens.
Whooo, I got five points for this piece of shit. x)
would be nice, if M$ paid more attention to the stuff it sends.
