M_Lyons10 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hi everyone, I saw that they removed the "Feedback" software from the RC and was wondering how you submit feedback now. There are some changes to the RC that weren't in the Beta that are not good choices in my opinion and I would like to voice this. For example, now the name you can use for naming a drive is VERY limited. I don't understand this change. Thanks everyone. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdood Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 You don't, they don't want anymore feedback that way from the public. It's far too much work triaging. There's always the TechNet forum for Windows 7, it's watched by Microsoft. Don't hold your breath though, unless you're talking about actual bugs rather than a design decision you don't like.

Oh, alright. That seems like a very strange design decision to me personally. No version of Windows has limited it like that... It seems like something that would be a bug more than a choice...

hdood Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 What limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derviskemal Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 It is available to provide feedback, its just hidden as they want specific stuff such as... Issues that prevent installation or upgrade Any issues that involve corruption or data loss Security issues Regressions from Windows Vista SP1 or Windows 7 Beta (things worked before, but do not work now) Any application or device issues that would prevent you from using Windows 7 as your primary OS. Reproducible crashes or hangs (issues that you cannot reproduce will be captured by CEIP Telemetry) So, you can get to the feedback tool by running this command... rundll32.exe FeedbackTool.dll,ShowWizard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdood Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I think you mean error reporting in the last one. CEIP isn't activated in the RC unless you manually go and activate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Lyons10 Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 What limit? Well, in Windows 7 it will not allow me to give a drive a name longer than 11 characters. I might be a bit longer winded than some, but I like things to have logical names. I had no such problem on XP or Vista... It's odd. Even the 11 character limit doesn't make sense... It's an odd number... That's why I'm thinking it's a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdood Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Oh, I understand. I have one with 17 letters. The 11 characters thing is a FAT limit, it doesn't exist in NTFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
