Windows XP and later, Mac OS X 10.3 and later, and Ubuntu Edgy and 
later all include a system for displaying details about application 
crashes and reporting them to the OS vendor. (In Windows it's called 
Windows Error Reporting; in Mac OS X it's called CrashReporter; and in 
Ubuntu Edgy it's called ... "apport".)
