Won’t Fix - Existed Previously

  • No Related Post

I submitted an Explorer bug to Microsoft through the Vista SP1 Feedback tool. Their response made me laugh out loud:

Hi Kevin,
According to the Devs this existed in RTM as well therefore it’s a Won’t Fix for SP1. This will be addressed in a later OS.

Just sit and read that again. Can you guess yet why this pissed me off? Allow my response to speak for itself:

Won’t fix in SP1 because it existed in RTM? Isn’t the purpose of a Service Pack to fix problems that existed in RTM?

“Addressed in a later OS”? You had the longest development cycle of any Operating system in history; you haven’t even finished this one and you’re deferring bugs to Windows 7 or Singularity? Holy bejeezus.
