Well I am in the seattle area and I have beta tested many MS products, where they ask us for our input, so they do do it, just not in this newsgroup. I have tested games as well as software for them, last one being .net studio, in which we gave them insight on what we wanted for the next release, blah blah blah

You certainly don't see adobe on these boards trying to better their products and certainly not m$. Although I certainly could see M$ come on here post a few tips and then send us all a bill for it! j/k, well not really plus I don't think that MM comes on here to try and sell you coldfusion, I mean if we didn't have it then we probably wouldn't be here anyway. some of us need the support and personally I value the time that they come on to help, they certainly don't have too. since I'm a cf newbie I can only give my .01 cents worth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christian Cantrell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 6:59 PM Subject: Re: Tell Us How You Use ColdFusion, You May Win $100 at Amazon > This survey was certainly not meant to be a promotional tool.
