Do you think that information actually matters to the manufacturer and they will use it to fix glitches or will they just store it for statistics?

I read somewhere that sending error reports actually slows your computer down. It's pretty much useless because most issues are never solved. I think the main reason for the error report is so that the manufacturers can patch glitches on their programs. If you get a hardware error... then it does pretty much nothing. Microsoft isn't going to send a professional over to your house to assist you.

Well Yes. This error reporting service is a pretty good phenomena introduced by MicroSoft. I think they use this error statistics to make the product more robust and reliable. This way, they are using end users to do the testing job for them!!

I think it does but i think it will be received in an automated manner in which they will log the problem then maybe store in their database or something. You can disable the error reporting service if it annoys you.
