Yep, one important example of the folly of being the "first to market" (or early anyway) -- the smart move is to hang back and see what the competition does and how it's received by the public, then sweep in with a simpler/cheaper product. Let the competition do the market research for you.

You have to wonder why they ever bothered with beta testers - I was one for a couple of DOS versions back in the day. It didn't matter what you reported, they always just ignored you.
That attitude clearly hasn't changed...

I actually got to talk to someone at Microsoft when I had trouble with disc 11 of 13 while installing Windows 95. No one there has acknowledged any communication, nor deigned to respond in any way to any feedback or request for assistance since. Microsoft doesn't do customer service.
Will Rogers never met me.

I never ever used the feedback smiley, I even went so far and removed it from the title bar via an extension because it's annoying to have it sitting there (but not because I'm grumpy all the time and hate the smile  ). Providing a feedback command in the Help menu would be sufficient, and given the fact that they don't seem to care so much about feedback in reality, it doesn't really deserve such a prominent place (but it's a good alibi).
I used Connect only once so far, complaining about the fact that I constantly have to renew my MSA log-in credentials because the token expires after 12 hours or so and VS 2015 can't handle two-factor authentication anymore. This wasn't an issue in VS 2013. It was closed down (of course), on the grounds that they changed how log-in works (so it's by design).

So...for me that's "inside the front door" then?

Years ago I had a huge German Shepard and he knew what time the mailman arrived and he would wait at the door everyday and wait for him. As soon as the mailman stuck the mail through the slot the dog would grab it in his teeth and pull it through, scaring the crap out of the mailman. 😏

There was Shepherd bitch in a house down the road from us and the puppies were lovely when my Jack went a calling.

Over the years we have had two, aunt had three. Some of the best dogs out there. One of them played nanny to my and my cousin. She sat in the front yard while we played, if we got to close to the street she would come up, grab the seat of our pants in her mouth and not let us move any further. Gentle, smart, and I miss them all. Unfortunately the breed seems to be suffering from over-breeding and not enough genetic stock. More health problems and they are getting whiny.
If (when) we get a dog wife wants a doberman or akita. Also both great breeds. Dobermans are big but are pretty much couch potatoes. A proper akita is a freakin tank on legs. Worst case, we will end up with a shiba inu. Yeah, they are small but they don't know it. They were used to hunt bears along with akitas. The shiba flushed em out and the akita did the fighting. Any dog that went toe to toe with a bear demands some respect.
