I didn't see a lot of earth shattering stuff there. Mostly common sense when writing ANY type of report.
I didn't see things I would expect to see in a bug report:
1. Name of application
2.
Build number - very important. If the bug is in build 3, fixed in build
4 and we are on build 6, not much sense in trying to reproduce the bug.
3. Any sort of environmental settings that are needed to reproduce the bug - e.g. "it only works in IE6, but crashes in IE7"
4. Any sort of data needed to reproduce the bug.

The effective bug report involves the Bug Id, Product ,Component, The Severity of the bug, The priority of the bug, The Screen shots of the URL where the bug is encountered and the logs supporting the report, The Detailed Document Report and the Environmental Conditions under which the bug is encountered, details of the person who raised the bug.
