Just wondering how many of you report those errors to Microsoft. I've had my fair share of them errors, but I'm skeptical about sending any information to 'em. Big brother is watching!! Then again, they're here watching as we speak. Sending any sort of information to them is freaky =P

When I first installed XP, I always sent it. Now that the novelty of "what a neat idea" has worn off, I never send it.

I figure that Microsoft is getting enough errors reported to them without me adding to their total error count.

I sent couples of them @ the beginning but not anymore! It's bad enough Micro$... collects info when watching videos with WMP! From now on, I'm using PowerDVD to watch videos and WinAmp for mp3s!
