The Windows 7 Taskforce

Long Zheng – owner of istartedsomething.com blog started Taskforce initiative few months ago so users could contribute user interface defects present in Windows Vista and Mac OS X and to highlight them so the respective software giants fix them.

I don’t know about Apple but Microsoft took notice of the Taskforce website and submissions present on it. Many of the UI defects have been fixed in the current builds of Windows 7.

Long Zheng has now started a similar Taskforce for Windows 7. It is aimed at fixing the UI defects that might still be present in Windows 7. Users can submit the defects as well as rate them. Please head over and contribute to the Taskforce.
