gamehead200 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 ...but I actually use the "Send Feedback" button! I've actually used it about five times now. Don't you want Microsoft to make this OS the best one after having released Vista? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xper Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I don't see reason to remove it. We need to help MS to make things better, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idbirch2 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I've removed the feedback text, there's already a desktop shortcut and start menu shortcut to launch feedback. I don't want it plastered onto every single window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerb255 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 At least this is an easy way to distinguish the beta testers from the leeches... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idbirch2 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Like I already said, you can still send feedback quickly and easily from the desktop or the start menu. There really is no need to put it at the top of every window. I don't want to supply feedback on every single window I open. If I did, maybe that would make me a "serious beta tester"?

Maleko Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 dont see the point in this? i use and like the feedback links, cause if sommit happens in a window, i can quickly press it while its fresh...if u get me.its a beta...for testing purposes...SO TEST IT.and testing means...feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I have submitted feedback for all the software I have installed on my laptop and some older software I had backed-up. Not to mention a few games... As to the OP, the link on top of all windows is very handy, I don't see the point in removing it. After all we are TESTING a beta version that will expire on August 1st, so it's not a permanent OS for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idbirch2 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 OK, so we've established that some people don't see a need to remove the feedback links and some do, maybe we can stop with the pointless replies now. I'm sure the OP was simply trying to point out something that some of us might find useful, if you don't, great, move along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 thanks for the info.

Access Denied Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I have tried to restore the watermark, with no luck. Anyone know how to do this? I've googled and tried this/that until I am ready to give up, lol. It causes some problems running things in compatibility mode. I don't have any backup copy of that file (chit for brains, yes, I know). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
