Honestly, this is a great idea for most users, although how MS hopes to pull it off is a mystery, their cryptic error messages are rarely covered at all on their official sites...wouldn't it seem reasonable that the developer that raised the error would be responsible for at least making some somewhat informational note about it? And now, they are intending to actually fix it, automatically???? lol

No magic at all... I had my "monthly bluescreen of death" but the "Fixit tool" did not recognize the error. It just told me about a crashing Internet Explorer. This is interesting because I never used my Internet explorer.

Unfortunately my system is running smoothly for the rest, so I can't evaluate the ability of the Automated troubleshooters. 2 hours of usage and not impressed so far.
