Vista - How many of you report?

Don't take this wrong. It's not a complaint or anything like that. I'm
just curious...

How many of you who are having problems and/or finding solutions to those
problems are reporting them to Microsoft? I read a lot of them here on the
NGs, but I wonder how many MS knows about. That is, just for the record,
the PURPOSE of them letting us use the Beta versions.

It would also be nice to know if the folks there respond to feedback they
get.

I have reported several, and I was absolutely shocked about a week ago to
receive an email from MSFT regarding one of my submissions.

I report bugs as I find them to MS. I've probably reported 8 to 10 bugs, if
not, more to date.

I've reported a few. From researching them they were already known bugs so I
don't expect a response. I reported them because to me they were important
things I wanted fixed and I'm assuming that more reports moves a bug up on
the priority list.

You are correct that anecdotal reporting in the ng does not get to MS. The
only way to file a bug that gets into the bug database is with the MBC. As
for the rambling "reviews" of features or Vista as a whole, those don't do
any good here at all. The way to report those is with the "sentiments" link
reached with the Feedback icon or at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...s/default.mspx.

Mark's experience is typical. Each bug reported with the MBC is triaged and
assigned to the team that owns the feature. A programmer may email you for
further info and provide a means for your response if he wants specific logs
or files.

The bug database for Vista passed 120,000 some time ago. Many of those are
dupe, of course, but the TechBeta folks have really kept the teams at MS
hopping.

That is correct. Members of a bug triage meeting advocate for priorities
and quantity helps them argue their points.

I have reported about half a dozen bugs. Nothing real major, just minor
annoyances and incompatibilities. Nothing that makes me want to dump Vista.

I only do the report thing if I don't find a resolution elsewhere (i.e. a
newsgroup or tech center) that Microsoft knows about.

I have sent in 6 or so, not got anything back yet though unlike some
blue -eyed -boys out there.

You probably won't hear unless there is a request for further info. I don't
think the CPP participant's are in an email response system like TechBeta
where we get email notices like crazy as the bugs work their way through the
system.
