>When M$ e-mailed Michel and received our survey responses regarding DevStudio, that was the first evidence I've seen that they know we exist. Has a M$ employee ever signed onto the UT, posted a message, or reacted to us in any way?

Bret,

I know that last week I noted once, one person from Microsoft was logged on to the UT, and another time 2 people were.

George

Note that I had a hard time not saying, "They're here..." cause I don't think they are, at least as this moment :-).
