Windows 7 Engineers using feedback

Since the early days of computing, when there is a problem that affects that way you use the computer you would typically get somebody to fix it. The problem now doesn't seem to be getting somebody to fix it, rather, how long do you wait until you actually figure it is a problem that needs fixing?

You should be!
