Error Handling

These dialog boxes are designed to gracefully handle unexpected errors.

Context Error messages generated by the end-user wizards and developer tools are often too technical and hard-to-understand.	Solution We wanted to make error handling a high-priority aspect of the user interface. Using clean, simple designs and plain language are the most important techniques of error design. Also, when possible, always provide solutions for the user, and fix the problem automatically if feasible.
What I Like I like how we turned a standard Windows application fault dialog box into a (somewhat) beautiful, simple dialog box.	What I'd Change I would use only one Web link per dialog, never two.
