You're going to find out that this is generally an exercise in futility. Microsoft isn't really interested in fixing bugs that users report. Just look at pretty much any version of Visual Studio that yoiu might care to mention. On a more positive note, I'm happy to see you've found something to do with your spare time.

"The staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - J. Jystad, 2001It's not an exercise in futility. it will start a dialog that can keep you enganed for weeks, if not more. 1. (usually within a few days) This doesn't look like gibberish. We are forwarding to guys who know shit. 2. (usually within a few weeks) We can't reproduce. ==> here you have the unique opportunity to spend a good half an hour digging together all the material you'd need to reproduce, and upload it. 3. Thank you for uploading. You seem to be really interested. mwhaahaahahaha Variety! 4a. (within a week or so) We are not able to reproduce this. 5a. (within a few days) Closed, not reproducible ==> here's your chance to reopen, argue, and upload more repro 4b. (within a week or so). We are able to reproduce. Hang on! (don't hold your breath) More Variety! 5b-a. (if this is for the current beta): Pfft. I mean, unpfffortunately we cannot add this to the next beta / RC. maybe the one after that. if there is one. Don't hold your breath. 5b-a. (if this is for the current RC): Pfft. I mean, unpfffortunately we have already locked down the features for the next RC / release, and will add only high-priority-items. 5b-b. (if this is for the current release, and it's not crashing): Pfft. I mean, unpfffortunately, we can only fix crashing bugs, as we are focusing our resources on the next version, which will come with shiny new PHP-based UI. Microsoft is making great efforst to support PHP, and what would be better to boost this than basing an important product on it? 5b-c. (if this is for the current release, and it is crashing): Pfft. I mean, unpffortunately, we can only fix major showstoppers as we are focusing on ... There is a workaround which usually involves disabling one of the features proudly listed on the spec sheets. Or there's a hotfix where we already fixed that bug once, so it can't occur anymore. 5b-d. (if this is for a previous release, by VS 2008): Your compiler is less than 3 years old? We can#t really fix that crap. You might want to try agile.
Agh! Reality! My Archnemesis![^]
