How do you submit feedback on Windows 7 RC?


Recommended Posts

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. :)

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...

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

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.
