Windows 7: Windows 7 Windows Error Reporting Infrastructure

The Windows Error Reporting (WER) infrastructure is one of the components of Windows that has evolved with the introduction of Windows 7. Designed as a set of event-based feedback technologies, WER can record and subsequently relay to Microsoft information about various software and hardware problems detected by Windows. The software giant will receive data on crash, hang, and kernel fault errors by default, provided that the end users accept to share the info with the company, but at the same time, WER goes much further via the application programming interface (API) delivered by Microsoft.
