Nice buddy. I like it so much. Come on keep it up :)
When I first read this, I was angry. Why haven’t I been able to give smart advice to people about providing decent responses to error messages?
And the answer is simple. Microsoft should have added an extra line to the dialog box advising people how they might help their their support team by copying the error code to a mail message. Geeks are lousy at understanding user interfaces and all of their designs are useless, hence ^C.
Hmm, messages aren’t bad, but why not a magic button that does that generates an error report with space for user comment. Much, much more user friendly than the MS error reporting scheme for app crashes. And sent to the local help desk, not MS.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
