Re: Why are UI gestures also sent with an error report ?

> It depends on how you look at it. Sometimes different users actions setup different states, and that can be extremely useful when trying to recreate an issue. Not everything has a hidden agenda :-p

I know but I just never liked giving away more information than it's necessary.

How would you think if for every "send report" on Windows XP (I dunno
if Vista has it), Microsoft would get a list of your entire history of
user actions ?

Does the error report include only the UI gestures in the last, say 2
minutes before the exception ? Or the UI gestures collected so far ?
Because if it's the former then ok, my mistake, if not, the report is
giving away too much info.

Of course, a step forward would be a checkbox *not* to send the UI gestures...
