Want a last chance to complain directly to the source about your favorite Vista UI glitch before it is foisted on you and the rest of the world? Just wondering what sort of people work on Windows all day? Well, look no further. The Windows Shell team now has a blog site for your reading pleasure. Head over to Shell Revealed and check it out.

  1. Not a bad idea, but... by urbanradar · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Not a bad idea, but I have my doubts that posting problems or opinions to that blog would make much difference. The noise ratio of comments would just be too high. Seems more like a marketing thing. They're trying to be all hip and with it, so they make a blog to make people feel all warm and fuzzy inside because Microsoft is actually personally listening to *their* input and criticism!

    Someone, somewhere coded this crap up and thought people would like it. Which means they are suffering from a staggering disconnect with reality.
    Which is why everyone who uses OS X turns off the visual effects...

    On a slightly related note, I reckon that being a dick is the way to go when being accompanied by pussies. Not that I would know, of course. I suck at human relationships on more literal, non-literal and numerous levels than you can possibly imagine.
