Windows probably contains the most sophisticated form of OCA to date where the central database can be setup to gather additional information from users that are experiencing a particular type of crash (through user approval). The system considers all parts of the debug and release process, such that targeted bug fixes can be applied through Windows Update. In other words, only people experiencing a particular type of crash can be offered the bug fix, thus limiting exposure to an issue. Windows Update version 5 through Netscape Browser 8. ...

Talkback (also known as the Quality Feedback Agent) is the crash reporter used by the Mozilla software to report crashes of its products to a centralized server for aggregation or case-by-case analysis.[2] Talkback is proprietary software licensed to the Mozilla Corporation by SupportSoft. If a Mozilla product (e.g. Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird) were to crash with Talkback enabled, the Talkback agent would appear, prompting the user to provide optional information regarding the crash. Talkback does not replace the native OS crash reporter which, if enabled, will appear along with the Talkback agent. Mozilla was the official, public, original name of Mozilla Application Suite by the Mozilla Foundation, nowadays called SeaMonkey suite. ...

Ubuntu With the release of Ubuntu 6.10, Ubuntu includes Apport[5]. It is not currently enabled for GNOME desktop applications; they continue to use Bug Buddy.
Apport works by installing a userspace helper which intercepts user processes when they would usually dump core, and writes crash reports to a staging location. A user daemon then invites the user to submit new crash reports to Ubuntu for analysis.[6] A core dump is the name often given to the recorded state of the working memory of a computer program at a specific time, generally when the program that has terminated abnormally (crashed). ...
