I understand there is no support for Technet/MSDN or Public downloads..But MSFT should at lease provide a way to report actual Bugs.. otherwise your missing out on important problems the your Test teams might miss

if you click "submit feedback" in Win7 it links to connect.microsoft.com which is a closed beta.. The only Windows7 support groups I found were on the link below.. is anyone from MS support or Dev monitoring these groups?

if you want to see how difficult it is to report a bug to Microsoft see the link below..

Hi,

Yes, if you look at some of the responses of that TechNet forum link you will see MS employees and MVP's answering questions. Those forums are also being examined everyday by MS developers, testers, and program managers.

And if you look closely, you will see me. :) I've already filed one bug based on the findings of one customer.

We're definitely listening very carefully, and helping when possible.
