Hope GX will post the original reply from MS soon

Anyway here is my version of reply (yes, this is what I think lol )

Dear Gx,

Thank you for supporting MS everywhere when you get a chance. That is much appreciated. We received your email with the suggestions. They are really great but we have some limitations in implementing those. We are listing something for you

1. Stripped / Student version / Teachers version

Yes, yes, yes, we will sure deliver more MS products like this. Thats how we make people addict of our products. You can expect a very positive repsonse from us in this matter

2. Reducing cost of softwares

Man, no way !!! We are not here for helping people and get bankrupt !!! We are into business and we know how much to charge for softwares. The prices are actually very less and no way to reduce prices

3. Regarding the great ideas

We liked (loved) the great ideas you / your friends sent. They are really cool. But we would like to remind you some basics of business - No idea is good unless it brings us $$$$ So whatever it is, if it does not bring us $$$, it is just crap. This is not just the case of MS, but all businesses around the world !

4. Make things so that it works with other OS / softwares ?

Hmm, again, man, listen, we have to take care of our business first. Then only other things come. Remember, our IIS supported perl in win 95, but we created our own ASP and closed option to run perl in IIS (win 98 ). We are already facing some issues in EU regarding similar issues. As you can see one stupid fellow in Thinkdigit forum posted some crappy news from BBC regarding the same. So please do not expect us to do something good in this area, but we will give a try.

Once again, thank you for all your suggestiions. We are sending a stripped copy of Win Vista and stripped copy of Office 2007 along with this, Enjoy (no, not like that, enjoy the softwares, only thats stripped )

Warm Regards

Bill Bhai (Bharat Mata Ki Jai)

[infra_red_dude]

haha... what an anticipated reply!

mods, plz close this nonsense thread, rather delete it. it'll relieve the forum database of some sh!t....

@GX
even when the whole forum condemned you of simply boasting, i thot otherwise. i did haf hopes from you. but now i see that i was wrong!

I think his (GX) initiative was a good one. I appreaciate it. But from the reply he received from MS regarding the Autopatcher was a solid proof that - you may be MVP, you may be a strong supporter of MS, you may be MS employee but MS NEVER care anything that harms their business / ideas. They never give any over-importance either.

The email reply GX received is the same as any other guy got from MS (autopatcher one). It was very smilar to an auto response, they just change the country name etc and sent it to all !!!

Still, if theres any news from MS, please keep posted ...

I have given feedback to MS 2 times, first one was for the first 3 changes, then rest 5. All I got it in reply was "Thanx for the feedback, we would like to consider these changes in next version of our products. Please provide further feedback as applicable"

Vishal has a link on which anyone can provide feedback. I request him to post it here so that anyone can use it

 

[infra_red_dude]

Thanks for replying GX

"Thanx for the feedback, we would like to consider these changes in next version of our products. Please provide further feedback as applicable"

I really appreciate the fact that you've not tried to defend MS here and haf posted the actual reply

As suspected, MS cares li'l about their MVPs. I think they should strike off the 'MV 'from the 'MVP' and make it MSP - Microsoft Professional. The 'most valued' term is meaningless there!

I think Autopatcher issue is a real set back from MS. They should have continued endorsing mainly because there are many PC's which run without internet connection.

Thanks GX, for posting the reply.

As your intention was good, I really hope they consider the suggestions as promised.

MS security pack ISO, Windows Updates in MSU or Exe packages that digit can provide freely. Does that rings a bell..

 

[infra_red_dude]

i guess we can keep the autopatcher issue outta this thread. there's already one wid a whole lotta posts!

@Kiran_tech_mania

Please have a look and continue - Here

Microsoft uses 'thanx' ? I doubt if it was some Lucknow employee handling that mail.

Also that 'As applicable' part sounds a rather ... whatever, it won't matter to you.

All am saying is, just in case am wrong about you rigging this up, I sure am right in the other way. I hope you do understand sarcasm.

And I was wondering why a company will keep feedback links hidden? Or are you talking about *specific* feedbacks such as 'Windows Needs This' and that only MVPs, specifically the creator of this thread, are knowledgible enough to give their views?

 

[mediator]

I hope gx had forwarded the suggestions only after he had understood the full meaning of them!! I hope MS doesn't snatches his MVP status for that.

Besides I wud luv to observe MS's reply and wud request Mr.MVP to forward it to my email ID and may be to the other interested souls in here. So @gx can u plz do that benevolent act? *www.smileyhut.com/eat_drink/snack.gif
