I've got a question about Windows Mobile in general that might be better answered elsewhere. I know the basic Microsoft response to this question, but I was wondering if anyone had any particular insight on this or knew of a similar post (even on other forums).
What does Microsoft do with those Windows error reports that pop up all the time on my Windows Mobile 6.1 device? Are they given any special priority over the regular Windows Error Reporting on the desktop OS versions (perhaps due to the smaller user base for WM devices compared with their main OS)? Does anyone know how many you have to submit before it becomes a "blip" on their error reporting radar? And the main question - does it make a difference if error reporting is on or off in the grand scheme of Microsoft development and patching? (Right now I submit the reports, but I suspect it's like one person clapping at a football game - unless everyone does it about the same thing it isn't going to make much difference.)
Just curious if there's any (non-company-line) info out there on this, especially for Windows Mobile but not necessarily limited to that.
