There are a number of people around here (not from Microsoft) who can make
sense of those crash reports in some cases. Usually a third party Faulting
Module Name, for example, can be a pretty clear indication of where the
fault might lie. =)
But then you get into the harder stuff which takes some further research -
and then the even harder stuff that takes actual offline debugging -- and
then the even really harder stuff which takes live debugging / really good
breakpoints.
It's really hard to know how easy it might be to figure out an Error Report
until you look at it / the DMP file. =\
