When anonymous isn't

A friend's Windows XP system did something stupid and it popped up a window like, "Windows has recovered from a serious error." Ok, good to know. It went on, "We'd like to know how we fucked up." That's paraphrased. "Please send us information about this error. It will be treated anonymously."

Treated anonymously? If you have to treat it that way, then it obviously isn't. Couldn't you manage to strip out all identifying information so that it actually is anonymous? Or would that get in the way of your anti-"piracy" campaign?

She clicked, "Don't Send."
