So what information do various versions of Windows cough up when a program crashes?

The output of OS X's CrashReporter:

        http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#technotes/tn2004/tn2123.html

is actually pretty useful, especially if symbols are available for the executable.  (Yes, I've debugged crashes given 
only CrashReporter output.)  I think Linux, at least, offers a way for a process to grab crashes and pop up a similar 
report (rather than dumping core) and that at least some desktop environments in some distributions do so; I don't know 
whether any other UN*Xes offer that.
