Actually, Autodesk has implemented the Microsoft Customer Error Report 
feature into our software.

It is really cool.  You get back a dump file that you can load into the 
debugger and it will give you the call stack and put you at the code line 
of the crash.

It takes some changes to implement, compared to most people's current 
"release" environment, but it is well worth the effort.

Instead of "my app crashed when I did this" report, you get a substantial 
amount of more useful information.

Also, the user has an option of including an email address to elicit 
further information from, although only about 10% of customers do this.
