It was back in 1995. I'd just loaded Windows NT 3.51 on my computer. Not long after, I got my first BSoD. What to do?
So of course I gathered as much info as I could, and I promptly reported it to Microsoft. (That just shows you now naive I was at the time). I think someone even contacted me; not that they ever seriously followed up.
True story.
But there's a larger point, which is that if, back in 1995, Microsoft actually made a serious effort to debug and fix these problems, we'd all be better off today.
Sorta like the quote, from memory: "If Bill Gates had a nickel for every time Windows crashed ... wait, he does!".
