Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Punish your Microsoft developer

["Vern Green" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

That was really good Mike, I see you finally picked up that sense of
humor I was telling you about! ;-)

On a semi-related note, that feature you see, the Send Report feature,
well it really doesn't send anything at all. We checked it out one
day.

We had a machine where that came up, the machine was not connected to
the network at all, we went ahead and clicked "Send Report' anyway and
got a message that the report was successfully sent! WHAT? How did it
get sent, brainwaves?

So we decided to see what happened when it was connected to the
network, we hooked up Ethereal and monitored the traffic coming from
the machine, we then caused a crash and clicked send report. No
packets were created and sent even though we got the message the
report was sent.

Now it is possible that it is sent at a later time, perhaps when
Windows update is run or something like that. Who knows for sure?
Probably not even Microsoft.
