Troubleshooting in Windows has always been a mixed bag. The operating system’s error messages typically range from unhelpfully ambiguous (Windows cannot eject this drive, one or more applications may be using it) to downright cryptic (my personal favorite is the Windows 9x-era “Your computer has performed an illegal operation”).

It’s available for download now from App World, and rest assured, you don’t need to worry about blowing through your carrier’s data caps with this one.

I’ll be interested in hearing your opinions on this but I thought I’d let you know mine first.
The software giant has gone from TV commercials to as far as letting people host their own Launch Parties. And now we hear about a new “Windows Café” opening up at 47 Boulevard de Sébastopol in Paris.
