You were talking about a specific phone call I made in the past. If you don't know when that call was exactly, shouldn't you ask before jumping the gun? > You even said most hacks are known > now. Of course I'm talking about now. I don't know of a "bug" or feature > that a hack hasn't been discovered. And how do you know about them? You know about them because somebody ran into them and reported them. Because that is what responsible developers do, they report bugs when they encounter them. And I have on occasion used the phone for that because other means of reporting issues to MS give the same response as a black hole. > Yes, IE 6 bites big time.

I never said it > doesn't have bugs but to put a blanket statement of "something not rendering > properly is a bug" is a little much. But that is not what I wrote. I wrote: "where for instance a bug in IE results in incorrect rendering" which defines a causal relation between the rendering problem and a bug. I am not the one making blanket statements, I am just relating my experiences. > With every link you provided, isn't there a way around it? So as long as there is a way around it, it isn't a bug? I think we should agree to disagree on that. Now that that is cleared up, let's go back to the question I asked. And I will even reformulate the question because I would really like to know if MS has some decent support to offer for the little guy (and indeed, if the support is decent, $245 is pocket change). So: If I encounter a problem in IE where a bug causes incorrect rendering to the point of an application being unuseable, can I just call MS and get a patch for IE? Or can I even get somebody to admit that it is a problem in IE and not in my code?
