Re: Reminder Windows CE .NET chat today

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



So far our chat attendance, on the Microsoft side, has largely been those people who have the time and inclination to attend. No organization by area of expertise. The last chat we also had a mix-up where the chat announcement wasn't sent very far ahead of time.

After the last chat with so many unanswered questions, we started discussing ways to get more consistent area coverage without requiring lots of busy people to sit idle during chats where questions for their area aren't being asked. Possibly we'll set up a list of people to be "on-call" who'd only get pulled into the chat if necessary. So, hopefully the chat experience will get better in the future.

Please understand that we do want to help you, but that there are many people with many questions and we need to find the best way to manage this along with all of the other responsibilities we have.

1. Just because you see it as a high-priority bug, doesn't mean it is to
Microsoft or anyone else reading your posts
2. Posting in the newsgroups is *not* the same as opening a support case.
If you have a bug, contact support, like you would with *any other* vendor.
If it's a problem with their product, the case is free.
3. If you bought Platform Builder, you get 2 free support incidents anyway
4. The chat client has a "post feedback" link on it for the chat. Posting
the feedback there is far more likely to be constructive than whining about
it here.
5. You can't expect an expert for every possible topic to attend every chat.
In my experience, Microsoft has been very good about following up with
questions asked that no-one present had the knowledge to answer if two
criteria are met: 1. It must be relevant to the chat topic and 2. If it's
likely to end up in you needing to call support services (in which case they
will tell you outright to call support).
