Well see. For years they've directed everyone to use the Feedback Portal. Now you have to sign up to participate in research panels. These are closed groups that Microsoft selects the participants, instead of public and open... I'm actually worried with this latest approach. The concept of the Feedback Portal is were the Dev Team should be focusing. They've already got years of suggestions, and now abandoning that and starting a new tool. And how do you think this makes all the people that used the Feedback Portal feel hearing that their contribution were a waste and now Microsoft is listening via private research panels?! I don't like the idea of a few deciding for the masses. That's why a public Feedback Portal was a great idea! Now, if only they actually maintained it. It has had great suggestions for years that they have yet to action. How much more do they need! They just need to use what they've had at their disposition for over a decade now. I'll also add that MVPs have been providing feedback all the time, I promise you that had they listened most of what is already listed on the feedback portal would have been addressed long ago!
Wow! I can't comment very much as I didn't register and don't participate with the Dev Team anymore. That said, others have made similar comments about simply stupid and completely irrelevant questions. Here I was hoping MS was finally taking things seriously.
Positive step forward.

Positive step, but the first dozen questions in the application sheet were DEI questions.......identity politics, what I do in the bedroom.......
Wow!
