Mobility Site - View Single Post - Error Reporting is your friend: leave it turned on

There have been many posts telling you that error reporting drains your battery. I think this is a myth and that "battery drain" is caused by something completely different (like filesys.exe, for instance).

We all know WM5 is buggy, and that many 3rd party apps have bugs on WM5. That is where Error Reporting comes in. If we keep sending error reports to Microsoft, they will eventually start to see patterns of what is failing and this will certainly lead to some fixes. If you turn off error reporting, you are making it harder for Microsoft to isolate and fix bugs, which means we will all wait longer and longer for good fixes to come out.
