Scott's point, that reporting problems with Entourage, or Office in
general, has become absurdly difficult, is a valid point, and it is
one that MVP's have called to the attention of Microsoft. We don't
know exactly what is being done about it, but we do know that
Microsoft is aware that people are quite upset about it. So [he said,
crossing his fingers], we can expect that something will be done to
fix it at some point.

As for Scott's complaint that he has had no acknowledgment from
Microsoft that they have logged his problem and are working on it,
that's fairly common practice. I've reported dozens of crashes and
such to Apple and never had any acknowledgment beyond the canned
message, which tells me there will be no direct acknowledgment!

I think your expectations aren't really reasonable. Frankly, I'd
rather have Microsoft's and Apple's employees working on solving the
problems than on spending huge amounts of time giving individualized
replies to every error report. And no software vendor that I know of
is in the habit of posting tech notes about things that are broken in
their software. Workarounds, yes, sometimes; but not bugs. Bug lists
are internal documents.
