Isn't CAB a great option for presenting our "top 10" or "top 100" most asked for fixes? There are some things we have discussed ad naseam and have not been changed, that create a great deal of dis-satisfaction!
I would agree that many things have not changed, but give it a few months to see how things go.
I have to second Chris' comments above. The team seems very dedicated to fixing many of the long standing issues. They ARE acutely aware of many of the issues we have suffered through.
Time will tell whether they can deliver, but they are coming from the right place.
