I have been wondering something to myself for a while.

Surely we here at vb-world don't have the corner on ingenuity and surely the people at Microsoft are not so retarded as to not know the things we have already stated as being seen as good for inclusion into VB7.

So that leads me to believe that it isn't through any lack of Microsoft "hearing" what people want for the product but more perhaps what they are either a) willing to give or b) able to give, when it comes to a new version of the application.

I am wondering... if it would be more beneficial to see if we could try and coax microsoft into constructing a SURVEY that people can go to and answer questions about what THEY would like to see in the next product and as a result get them to start to realise that us as the developers should be consulted and that future directions can be based on what the people out there want.

I get a sneaking suspicion that Microsoft make decisions without asking people because they believe they already know the answer.
