Abstract :
Reliability is a rapidly growing concern in contemporary personal computer (PC) industry, both for computer users as well as product developers. To improve dependability, systems designers and programmers must consider failure and usage data for operating systems as well as applications. In this paper, we discuss our experience with crash and usage data collection for Windows machines. We analyze results based on crashes in the UC Berkeley EECS department.
