Microsoft today released data about its Watson online error-reporting service, which the company says has had a significant impact on increasing the stability of its software. The company has struggled in recent years to improve its credibility in the face of an industry reputation for error-prone programs. Microsoft said that the quality of its software had improved as a result of the work of programmers in its Office group who produced the Watson system, which reports and then transmits to Microsoft real-world data about customer crashes.
