The ongoing two-way dialog and feedback is an absolutely critical part of ensuring that we together build the right product for our customers.

Getting the product as right as possible the first time makes sense.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What happens once the product is released though? I work with a team of 50 developers using .NET and have found many bugs with both Visual Studio and the .NET Framework itself.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We've never had much luck with reporting the issues in newgroups and having them dealt with in a manner which corresponds with the ideology you've talked of in your post. We've always resorted to finding our own work-arounds, which doesn't benefit the community or improve your product.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So you release a great product, that's cool, but there are always more bugs to be found. What then?</description></item><item><title>re: Transparency - key to effective product development</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2004/11/11/256210.aspx#258416</link><pubDate>Tue, 16 Nov 2004 19:17:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:258416</guid><dc:creator>Ricky Datta</dc:creator><description>Product Feedback Center&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A feedback - most of the suggestions are &lt;br&gt;usually marked by Microsoft reviewers as &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Fixed and Resolved&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;even though they do nothing about it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So it is mostly useless feedbackk for suggestions.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ricky&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>What build tools does Microsoft use?</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2004/11/11/256210.aspx#258678</link><pubDate>Wed, 17 Nov 2004 08:25:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:258678</guid><dc:creator>vincem's WebLog</dc:creator><description /></item><item><title>What build tools does Microsoft use?</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2004/11/11/256210.aspx#258681</link><pubDate>Wed, 17 Nov 2004 08:30:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:258681</guid><dc:creator>vincem's WebLog</dc:creator><description /></item><item><title>re: Transparency - key to effective product development</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2004/11/11/256210.aspx#259393</link><pubDate>Thu, 18 Nov 2004 05:12:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:259393</guid><dc:creator>S.
