Improve the system tray

The system tray should be able to be modified much like some of the other
toolbars on the taskbar. Also the clock should change display methods based
on the width of the side docked start bar.

I think you will see a lot more people use side docking, or double layer
start bars since they fixed the problem with the start button clickable area
since windows XP.

Currently the sytem tray displays the icons on two lines even though they
could all fit on one, also being able to disable it would be a nice option
too.

You make this point quite often. Interesting, you don't think MS
monitors this group at all?
Not challenging the notion, just surprised.
So, in general public NGs are of no interest to them? Again,
surprising if true.

Not only that, apparently the general public is of no interest to them as
well...
 
Not in an msnews server (public) newsgroup. Even in TechBeta (which is on
the betanews servers) the newsgroups are not managed groups. The msnews
newsgroups are set up for user to user interaction only. It isn't a
question of interest.

If an MS employee happens to hang out in a public newsgroup to help out with
general questions, he is volunteering his own time and is unlikely to be
from the team a particular comment or suggestion addresses anyway. If he
forwards a suggestion it is purely the result of his taking a personal
interest.

Managed newsgroups are another matter. They are moderated by an MS
specialist and users are guaranteed answers in two working days. Often,
these newsgroups are part of user subscription programs, such as contracted
early adoption programs, and so are not free.

Feedback made via the MBC, on the other hand, is triaged by the Vista teams
to make sure each report is dealt with by the team that owns the feature in
question. Triage meetings, so I have been told, can get very spirited. The
last number I saw was over 120,000 bugs reported through the MBC and
triaged.

Hope this helps.
 
Well said Mark. Arrogance at Redmond and some of the other campuses reaches
a new level. But a lot of the softies still have trouble working Windows and
Office.

My experience is that feedback that gets results is terrible no matter the
group period. I've seen it fail in all of them. MSFT has little interest
in what the public thinks of Windows as long as they can get sales levels up
and do what they want. The European Union screwup is a perfect example of
their attitude. They are phoning in Vista now as far as feedback in any
venue. And it's showing. Major features go unfixed.
