Well, I'm pretty far from Seattle (Boston) but have still done usability and other "feedback" stuff for MS. Most recently I did a long online survey concerning distribution of help files (online, CD subscription, etc). The nice thing is that after an hour of my time I was able to choose a present! Pretty good damn presents as well... I choose the developer's edition of Office XP (There were dozens of options ranging in value from $100 to $900 retail value). I'm generally all over things like this... The version of Flash I'm using was a "gift" for doing an hour long usabilty study on CFStudio 5.0. The MS usability team takes applications for participants online here: http://www.microsoft.com/usability/ I believe that MM gets it's participants mostly from registered users and surveys like the one we're talking about.
