Hello Jim,

If it wern't for the constant support of the community, MS would have killed the fox long ago. Its up to us to keep reminding them of that. If the people lead, the leaders will follow...

Of course MS might have redefined the word "survey" to mean feedback provided by things like Windows Update and other buried 'phone home' features of Windows.
