Sending IE9 feedback

Question

This is very difficult / or I think impossible stuff. I want to give feedbak to MS since Chrome is trying to get over IE and yes since I love MS.

But I found this is very difficult stuff. When I searched for it, it says that on Tools menu select Submit feedback, bu there is no such option in my IE9, however there is in

Tools -> Feed Discovery -> Submitting IE9 Feedback

This opens a page: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-NZ/iewebdevelopment/thread/212fe570-fde7-41bd-80d4-466a69b5b5bd?outputAs=rss which is actually a RSS for a thread on MSDN here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-NZ/iewebdevelopment/thread/212fe570-fde7-41bd-80d4-466a69b5b5bd#212fe570-fde7-41bd-80d4-466a69b5b5bd

So is it expected that we should reply to this thread? Ok I am replying on both threads, this and that for the feedback.

Answer 1

MS, please make the search strip and tabs broad, i.e. increase their height. Chrome consumes more size for these things. This makes it wacy to use. People accepted Win 7 taskbar since it is broad. The same idea. Thats what I feel. Thats what you follow in Metro- big and beutiful. The same here.

Inn chrome, taking tabs at the top is a good design decision, since people change tabs with mouse frequently and it just needs to take mouse cursor at top-edge of the screen (like for closing any window, we just point to the top-right edge of the screen) and ensure that mouse pointer is in the right area of the tab, so just horizontal positioning of the mouse is required.

While in IE, we need to take care of bot vvertical and horizontal positioning of the mouse in the desired tab. Thats what I feel.

Also addons is another point.

Answer 2

The instruction was for IE9 beta which had a feedback menu item. Feedback for IE9 is closed.

If you can reproduce your issue in IE10:

visit https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/Feedback to search for existing feedback on your problem and up vote them. If you cannot find one, start a new feedback, but keep in mind that your item won't get as much attention from the team as items with more up votes. 

If you can not reproduce your issue in IE10:

Post your problem to the IE user forum http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie9. This web developer forum is for helping web publishers to improve their web sites, not for help in using IE in general. In a similar logic, you won't really want to ask a bunch of TV show producers about how to improve your TV's usability, do you?
