In the course of developing software for MS Windows over an 18 years period I've put in 3 requests for information and the 1st 2 resulted in no response at all, the last one was a bug/feature in Visual Studio 2003 a couple of years ago and was successfully resolved. As a paid up member of MSDN or working for a company that was, I consider the resolution rate poor, in my experience, and it was refreshing that the last query was responded to and resolved satisfactorily.

Could be worse. You could put the request in for Linux. You'll either get told to "*** off and read the manual you dumbass Winblow$ user", 1000 suggestion which don't work or it'll get completely ignored.



A thousand suggestions which don't work sounds like an issue an old boss had with XP. MS was giving just about everyone with the problem a different way to resolve it, but they didn't work. Eventually someone other than MS tracked the problem to MS themselves as they'd released an update which included a component which it didn't register so breaking updated parts of the MS management console that required it.
