Just a note to the MS guys...
I'm fully supportive of the product Feedback Center initiative and the subsequent withdrawal of sqlwish.
Problem is, if nobody ever gives us feedback on the things that we submit then it simply is a glorified version of sqlwish with no added value.
I apologise if there are plans afoot to address to offer feedback to the things we put up there but I (and others) have been freely submitting bugs and suggestions for a few months now without hearing anything back and I'm beginnign to wonder why we bother.
Even a simple "This is a good idea and will be considered for Katmai" or "This is a terrible idea now go and stick your head back in the sand" would be better than a cut and pasted response which is just about all I've seen so far.

I agree I am unclear as to the purpose of the feedback centre. We appreciate that 2005 is done an dusted therefore if an issue is suggestion is now being closed as won't fix or by design that is implying it won't be fixed for the next 4 years. If something has missed SP1 and is therefore (one hopes) being considered for Katmai then it should have an appropriate status.
An example is the Tabs issue. http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/ProductFeedback/viewfeedback.aspx?feedbackid=0010c553-d46e-42d0-b548-38b5f9ea79aa
Raised against CTP in June, A fix put in for RTM. Not sufficient in my book, the issue is reopene dby Erland and closed again saying a DCR has been raised but not in the feedback centre. This suggests that next version stuff is not being taken from product feedback centre.
This confusion is further exaserpated by a user group meeting on wednesday ran by members of the User Experience bods from the SQL Team. They are really wanting feedback from users, but currently I am not sure were to direct feedback.
