Well, ages ago, I was one of the first users of CorelDRAW. Fed them many 
bug reports and UI feedback. Won't claim to make a big difference, but I 
did isolate a serious bug sufficiently that they could finally fix it. 
They rewarded me with a free upgrade to v2. So it's pretty cool when a 
developer rewards (me) by putting out a better version!

I know a lot of Windows users just put up with problems, maybe grumble a 
little bit, but figure it's just the way computers are. I work with a 
number of them.

My biggest complaint about Microsoft is that they have convinced users 
to accept computer and application crashes as "normal".

Reminds me, sometime I must start learning Ardour.
