I would complain more, except I have never ever gotten a useful bit of information out of the Event Log. Not once. It's so laughably useless I'm surprised anybody even bothers anymore. Microsoft certainly doesn't.

When applications on Windows fail they never think to generate an event, not even for something as simple as a "permission denied attempting to open file 'c:\blah'". Instead it's chock full of useless noise from daemons that activate every 2 seconds to poll something and then log that everything is still ok.
