Mass complaints by developers cause Microsoft to change.

I would prefer the traditional method. It's more fun. Let's go to Redmond in person and build some battering rams, seige towers, trebuchets....
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
I volunteer to operate the Trebuchet!

Count me in, as long as the raid loot is spread across the team evenly. :) need good tanks, healers, and damage dealers. They have some nasty bosses, so good tanks to draw aggro is advised.
Wecould ravage the offices, women, etc, just like a good old Viking raid
Sounds like fun day!

Great! Just don't drop the stones on your feet. They are really heavy. I know just the right place to order the adequate outfit. What are our team colors? Green and orange?

Don't need the link for that one. If we do that, we must be sure to be in it and get out right after we are inside. And since it's Mickeysoft, we should change the design to a mouse.

Don't you wish this could happen? Microsoft only listens to complaints when enough people complain about the same thing. With nearly 14 million of us, Code Project members could put in a lot of complaints if we wanted to. The trick would be to organise the plan of ...um, I hesitate to use the word "attack" as this is not what I want to propose. However, if we could, amongst ourselves arrange to all send in a complaint about a particular bug, feature or lack of one, perhaps we could get some results. I would suggest we limit ourselves to something actually achievable, not, for instance, "Replacing Windows 10 with Windows 7 again", which would be lovely but M$ is unlikely to take any notice unless all 500+ million supposedly happy users requested it. We have the skills to auto-generate messages on the appropriate complaint message boards or fill out the bug reports. If enough members signed up to petition M$ on something we could generate the request messages for them and send them in. A couple of million requests, all for the same thing might have some impact. A bit like bots but with invested people and good intentions. Opinions?

Sounds nice in theory. The only problem is that, although there might be 14 million of us, getting even 14 developers to agree on what is top priority is a nigh-on impossible task.

Sorry, but that is effectively a spam attack, because a large percentage of such a group would probably be of the "meh" opinion.
Spam? I'd call it a revolution. And one that's well past time, at that.

Correction... we are nearly 14 million users... Maybe 1 million developers?
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

You've got buckleys, apathy will kill the idea before it gets going. However you might try something like the weekly survey, The weekly BUG, but your numbers are going to be insignificant. Propose a bug, get votes on board, have CP present it to MS. I'm pretty sure CM has a good pipeline into MS by now.

You sound like someone with stockholm syndrome. Instead of arranging petitions to force a vendor to change, why not simply switch to something else? This is literally how it works with everything else - if a product sucks consumers move to another product.

Oh please do not be so scared! That can be called much more suitable than the bad word! It's not an _attack_! As a matter of principle, it would only be one thing: _"Democratic expression with an organized media protest"_. Right? :)

Precisely. However, who makes better Products than Microsoft?

Which is true for most companies. You have to prioritize. People complain so much about Microsoft but I don't see how they are any different than any other company of any product. Oh, except for the fact that they make it easier than anyone else to develop their products and make them better, creating millions of great careers in this world.
