Microsoft To Add A Black Box To Windows

An anonymous reader writes "According to ZDNet, Microsoft plans to add the software equivalent of a 'black box' flight recorder to Windows. According to the article, 'The tool will build on the existing Watson error-reporting tool in Windows but will provide Microsoft with much deeper information, including what programs were running at the time of the error and even the contents of documents that were being created.'" Commentary available via C|Net as well.

Just like the real black boxes

It will record your screams as your computer crashes.

More effective logging

Wouldn't it be faster for them to sift through the logs of what was happening when the system was stable? I mean, dear God, imagine the size of the log files if they logged crashes.

Low expectations

Pleasuring yourself one last time before you die?

C'mon, man. If the plane's going down, even a slahdork could probably find some girl on the plane who would be interested in a final go-round. Don't underestimate the power of impending death. It might be your best hope for losing your virginity.
