Maybe they do, and maybe they don't.
Smarter has little to do with it, it has more to do with available resources
and how they are used.
The bug reporting tool uses the resources better..
You do not seem to be aware how many newsgroups and servers Microsoft has
for newsgroups.
There is no expectation that the Microsoft game people see your post since
these are peer to peer support groups.
If you see Microsoft on these public groups, they are here on their own
time.
If you want the correct people at Microsoft to see your post, you should
post the bug using the tool.
Otherwise, maybe they will but probably not.
