Unfortunately, testing and "contributing" aren't all they're cracked up to
be.

To the best of my knowledge, and throughout all OS betas since Win95, MS
ignores "contributions" from testers at times.
More often than will -ever- be admitted to here.
Back then they called it "works as expected" - now they simply write off
problems by saying it's "by design".
Same problem, different dismissal is all.

But same now as then, once they close an issue, they will no longer discuss
it - sometimes without explanation.

MS is a business, a monopolostic behemoth, and they are in it to make money.
Consumer input is not exactly priority #1.
