Are you guys sending feedback to microsoft?

[yadielfeliciano]

It is very important that you do so, blue screen errors, bugs, failures etc.. we have to make sure that everything works fine for the RTM version, The less buggier the better, so please don't forget to send feedback to Microsoft if you have a problem

I have submitted many bug reports and feature requests. Since RC was made available I have sent one related to a third party software issue. Microsoft has usually responded very well to each of my reports. You can still send feedback to MSFT Windows 7 team even in RC and RTM builds. Search for "Send Feedback" from the start button. Or you can run this command:

rundll32.exe FeedbackTool.dll,ShowWizard

Officially from Microsoft on May 16th, 2009:
"Your feedback during the Beta process was very helpful. The "Send Feedback" feature isn't in Windows 7 RC, because we're at a later stage of the software development process. With this release, we're focused on verifying that all the changes and fixes we made based on the Beta tests and feedback are working correctly. We do that by gathering the automatically generated information (called telemetry) that your PC sends us when you use Windows 7 RC. Telemetry provides information about when your computer hangs, crashes or has performance issues, and it lets us know what applications or devices you were using when you experienced problems. It is important that we get this data from thousands of different hardware configurations in order to complete Windows 7. This will help us confirm that the fixes we included based on Beta feedback work on a wide range of hardware, and identify any new problems. "

So for the slower people (me) basicly everytime the computer crashes it automaticly sends the error report to MS?

it'll pop up a thing when something crashes asking if you wish to submit the info, if i recall the mechanics of it. most of the windows since 2k i think, have had this option in some form or another.

Welcome - Windows Feedback Program is the official site. It's currently closed for new recruits, citing;

As of January 23, 2008, the Windows Feedback Program is temporarily closing enrollment for new participants. Because our customers have been so responsive, we have reached full capacity for this program.

But you can still use the Feedback tool itself is available here;

http://wfp.microsoft.com/App_Client/setup.exe

Use it, make W7 the best OS ever.

Made several reports to MS during Beta. Not doing so with RC, but also not finding anything I need to report.

Am running some, (official), extra telemetry for MS plus I make sure any crash reports get sent. Crash reports are now basically down to odd 3rd party crashes, (photoshop filters etc), but still send the info.

Have sent two actual bug reports this week so far both relating to minor annoyance brought to light on this site, which I could duplicate, so reported

I have just sent some feedback to MS regarding 1) small output to my TV when using S-Video (zoom function would be nice) & 2) secondary taskbar for extended desktop.

I also mentioned about Media Center taking control of the screen edges when maximised as just an after thought.

Let's hope they get the info

Just sent to comments:
1. The Recycle Bin Properties Displays ALL the space of a drive, yet is labeled "Space Available". Surely not all the space of a Drive can be used by the Recycle Bin.

2. In Help and Support, When looking for info on the new Windows7 "Sticky notes" it only described info about the old one from Vista that was a part of the sidebar, which is not even included on Win7.

Why was I looking for info on such a simple program...
...was hoping to make it work like a gadget so when I peak at the desktop it shows, not disappears. I like that the new one expands as the text within grows, but I did copy the original one from my vista gadgets so I have that style too.

Good finds. Hopefully they will be corrected before RTM.
