RE: Dangerous usability bug

Thanks for the info. Sounds like another serious flaw in the
too-soon-released Vista. I hope some of these serious bugs don't have to
wait for SP1!

I've been told though, and by a Microsoft employee in the newsgroups, that
they won't respond to bug postings here and the only way to let them know of
a bug is to go to their support pages where you can have the privilege of
donating anywhere from 35 dollars to 595 dollars for the privilege of
reporting a bug.

I can't help but wonder if this is Bill's doings or if this is signs of
service to come from Microsoft post-Bill. I have no clue which.
