The fact is that the 10 members of the MSM Development team will never come close to finding all the bugs that the thousands of users here have. The fact is they need us.

Ah! Now you are speaking a real language that I can almost agree with. I don't agree that discovering bugs and working them out are the same thing though. I think that they (MS) perhaps pay attention to what we do... but probably little comes of it. So I don't think they NEED us as much as you say they do. A lot of the bugs out there are based on bad combinations of things. One could argue that much of the PDA software just isn't "ready" for the build in question... which would mean that the bug is not necessarily one that MS is to blame for. Whether the C&Ds are fake or not, makes no difference. It lends no support to your claims. If MS wanted to shut this all down, they could. The only reason they dont is because this community consumes their products. We actually DO PAY for their products. But they will do what they want to do. They aren't going to take bugs reported from hack jobs as real. They might consider some of it... but these days, their dev tools find all the bugs for them automatically. Have you not yet heard of use cases? I AM a developer... so I am not speaking out of my arse.
