Both operating systems have this functionality to some level. There are security concerns that the vendors take seriously, that limit the usability of the automated crash reports. It is significantly better to use "feedback" channels with recipes (directions) for causing a crash. Especially if several people can cause the crash. That is a good reason to ask folks on this list to verify issues. Then we can test and send our feedback too.
