For once Microsoft surprises me. Folloiwng on from this, I'd love to see:

Upgrade It
Remove It
Destroy It
Applaud It (for when things actually work as they should)

As stated very good news indeed.

A step in the right direction, now fingers crossed for Windows 7.

I want to see a break it button on my work PC.

Maybe Steve Ballmer should get a Fit It button tattooed on his forehead

Such genius! And will it work? No.

comment Gordon said on 6th February 2009

@Moche - the Start button?

err... if they found something that needs fixing, why don't they put it in the OS?

I mean, if something is going wrong then fix the code and put out a patch,
if something CAN go wrong and you have an auto fix, put it in the OS and put out a patch so its done automatically.

They missed a marketing trick here if you ask me. It should be called "Bill'll Fix It".

And just imagine the comfort a logo of Bill's genial smiling face will bring as your quad-core computer slows to a crawl copying a 2MB file and you hit the "Bill'll Fix It! button

I'll believe it when I see it. Microsoft support leaves a lot to be desired so, although this is a good idea, I doubt in practise it will be the silver bullet to end all OS related issues that Microsoft hopes it will be.

Every time windows spits out such a message, neither me, nor adimin--noone but at least the author of the program failed can possibly fix anything--and it'd require him to trace things down in disassembler or something. i must be doing somthing wrong...

@ haim - Because a lot of the time (not all the time) users or 3rd party software are the causes the problems.
