Microsoft To Add A Black Box To Windows

Posted by Zonk on from the we're-going-down dept.

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.

    Yeah, you told him!
    Oh, by the way, It's from 'Cool Hand Luke' starring Steve McQueen. Guns and Roses were referencing the original.
