MS forums:
"DW20.exe is the "Watson" crash reporting utility that Microsoft uses to help developers choose which bugs impact real customers the most and therefore need to be fixed first."

Is it possible to reproduce the behavior? How?

While searching, i got to know that lots of bug fixes, including uncaught exceptions in background threads that would cause .net 2.0 to launch dw20.exe to log details about the crash.
