George,

Thank you very much for a great post. I couldn't agree more.

>Point five, the VFP team has no control over the corporate policy at Microsoft. This means that bugs that they find have to go through exactly the same process that bugs in other products do.

>Point six, contrary to the other poster, I'd encourage you to not only report bugs, but provide as much additional information as you possibly can to help re-produce it. Not doing so is "shooting yourself in the foot". You've done nothing to fix the problem and you've provided no assitance to others who may experience the same.
Best,
