    Not as far as they admit,  I do not think microsoft would risk doing so. What they can tell is the ip address the file was sent from and operating system and so forth, I seriously doubt this includes any user identifiable information, you give up more info when you use your credit card in a store.

    DR. Watson is s system snapshot tool, that mainly snapshots an issue the system has when either a program application or os system itself crashes. It snapshots the exception handle, and the locations the error occurred.

    I think you had both better reread that Dr Watson function, as it states itself exactly what I said it was. It does not debug anything, for to do that must be forwarded to Microsoft as stated in your link, thereby it is only a reporting tool as I stated! Now you can tell me what else the program does more than the function I mentioned?
