    The first time you run Office 2007, it gives you the options "Get online help", "Keep your system running", and "Make office better"

    The description for the 2nd option reads "Download a file periodically that helps determine system problems." Is this useful? Just sounds a bit bizarre.

    Basically, this uploads reports of the errors you experience to Microsoft - who then studies these reports (and reports from others around the world) and tries to find a solution or at least the culprit.

    It is not harmful, but it does not necessarily directly benefit you as they make it sound.

    I enable this on my computer, because I'd like to see these problems fixed. ;)
