James,

I agree with you except i dont really care how long MS takes to fix a bug, i do care however to know it is there so i can work around it.

I seems that UT is not independent in this case, looks like MS *really* don't want us to have that list.

I would suggest if UT cannot host the list, lets host it somewhere else, anyone has suggestions ?
