I had a brief conversation on Twitter about the Microsoft Connect bug reporting system, and received the tweet pictured above. It notes: "I like how you used 'Connect works' in that sentence. Great work of fiction." That made me laugh because it does sometimes seem that Connect doesn't work all that well for those of us that use it.

Connect was supposed to be a place where users could report bugs and make suggestions. Some people file a lot of bugs and suggestions, though more than a few seem slightly silly. Others file what appear to be support requests, and I've had a number of documentation notes. There are even Connect items filed on Connect itself, though I can't understand why this particular one is "postponed". There are some items that have been open for years, even with hundreds of votes.
