This is what's missing from Windows 8 - that oh so handy Feedback icon on the desktop, to keep all those nice folks at Microsoft from getting lonely, or maybe wondering if anyone loves them, or if anyone had any suggestions about the program which weren't X-rated, or maybe which were, depending on your level of pleasure or frustration at that moment.
They got so many comments, the reason this icon isn't included in Windows 8 is simply because they're still wading through all those comments about Windows 7 from three years ago, which they've estimated may take them another 15 to 20 years. (just kidding!) But seriously - they got so many bits of feedback during that Windows 7 testing, they couldn't believe it, and so this time, there's no cute little icon to click on for an instant message to headquarters about the new operating system, or how you might improve it if you were doing the deciding.
But now, where do we send a suggestion for Windows 8? Or ask questions of its designers, in case they have time to offer a quick answer - like "Why does it take three clicks to dump the Recycle Bin if I go into it first, instead of just right-clicking on its icon and choosing "empty Recycle Bin"? Was that feature included by a former Vista designer who wasn't chased out of town when Vista proved to be such an embarrassment to the whole establishment? I wonder....
