Is there an E-Mail address for complaining to Microsoft?

"Contact Us" is msconus@microsoft.com but I don't know about a dedicated complaints address 
What's the problem, anyway?

If you just send "Windows Sucks", not only will you be wasting their time, but you'll be wasting yours as well. Companies, like individuals, don't like hearing general complaints like "you suck". Give specific examples backed up by reasons (and possibly data). This way MS will actually take it seriously.iatekoree said:

Eh, for me it is. I actually laughed out loud reading that. "Windows sucks, that's the problem." Pure gold.
I have to agree with grapes on this one.
By the way, you're talking to someone who sent some positive feedback to MS
Very insightful first post

I am not the 'I hate koree guy', I happen to know this 'koree' and he told me about the 'i hate koree' fiasco. Quite frankly I was appalled, Koree is my friend. After I read some of the 'i hate koree' stuff I wanted to make an account named in the stylings of Grounds Keeper Willy, when Bart is looking for Santa's Little helper, I thought it was a funny name, but it might not be that good.mkrishnan said:Wait a minute...you're that hate koree guy... yeah, okay. Where's that ban hamster? All I can find is this lousy penguin....
I didn't intend to say "Windows Sucks", I just wanted to say that the registry is a horrible way of storing things. I wanted to suggest that they remove the registry from the system, and keep a pseudo-registry to support legacy apps. The registry is a mess. Who came up with the idea to store everything in a hard to access file that makes you tired every time you edit it. Mac OS X's defaults system is wonderful, it's easy to find the prefs file and delete/edit as needed.grapes911 said:

In your opinion. But lets face it-- WinXP and Win2K may be overpriced but taken care of they work decently well. Not as good as OS X (too much of a Maccie to admit otherwise) but they work for some people, and some people don't know that it isn't working.
I agree. If used properly, the registry can be a powerful tool. It is great to store information that the user does not need to see. It is also great for allowing tweaks that the common user doesn't need. There are two big problems with it. (1) Most users don't know how to use it. (2) Most software developers don't know how to use it. I wouldn't change it.dotdotdot said:
True, but it allows to many companies/individuals to be sloppy. Worse yet it allows companies/individuals to do down right nastey things with it. The system should enforce a strict set of rules to prevent bad/malicious values from being added to the registry.dotdotdot said:

I thought it was conclusively demonstrated that Mac forum members are smarter than Slashdotters!

I'm a Slashdotter... but also a Mac users. I think I push that average up a bit....
It's funny that right after a post on proper English, Mechcozmo uses a small piece of bad grammar, you pluralized yourself. Note that this is not an attack; it is just something that I find funny.Mechcozmo said:I'm a Slashdotter... but also a Mac users. I think I push that average up a bit....
