Did sqlwish@ go swish?, say it ain't so!

Lets say we start with the release of S2k.For the last
five years users have be encourage to send their
wishes to sqlwish_@.microsoft.com and/or
http://register_.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp
Now that's gotta be a lot of data.I confess to being a
bonehead because I can't find any summary of this
data anywhere at MS.Can someone please tell me where
I can find the analysis of this data.Certainly,it's not
possible that nothing was done to formalize this data.
This data is important because not only will it be a
measure of how S2005 stacks up to the priorties of the
user base but it will give all of us some insight into
the nature of the users themselves.
So please supply a link and don't let me think it
evaporated into thin air.You think MS is going to freely share its market analysis with us? I, too,
would love to see this data, but I'm not holding my breath...
But I will point out that absolutely nothing I've requested has made it into
2005. Instead of something useful (DOMAINs!) we get features like PIVOT...

You'd think they'd like to show how responsive they are to their users.
MS marketing, where art thou?
Perhaps they don't care if some draw some negative opinions:)

Maybe for S2010 you'll have more clout:)

Why? What value does it provide over standard SQL cross-tab techniques
or your product? I'm still waiting for a good answer from the SQL Server
team, although I obviously p*ssed a few people off with that question when I
asked in the 2005 newsgroups :)|||"Pike" <stevenospam@.rac4sql.net> wrote in message

By the way, your website doesn't work well with Firefox. Especially this
