On my linux box, if I want to know what some application is doing, I can run that application through strace and find out every system call it makes. I can tell, for instance, what files an application is trying to read or write. And if a program fails because it can't find a some file or other, I can find out WHAT FILE IT IS LOOKING FOR.

Not so, it seems, with Microsoft and poorly written apps. LIFE SUCKS.

*makes a note of that program for future use*

I can't say I've really needed it before now, but it could come in handy.
