Hiya JimN ---

By the very fact that we are spending lotsa of our time here helping out the user/developer community or receiving help ourselves gives us some credibility. Maybe, a steering group could be formed with MS's blessing. That group could have a member who was responsible for presenting a wishlist to R.Green or whomever at MS periodically and/or reviewing MS's wishlist and making recommendations.

I don't know how this could be kicked off or if MS would buy into the idea...MS has never been very keen on external organizations setting standards or acting in an advisory role for their products.

Maybe one of our illustrious MVPs with good ties to MS Fox Team people could float this idea.
