I suppose that's as close to an apology as you can come up with.

Yes you can. I do it pretty much every day. However you will get
specific issues according to whether the source and/or destination
folders were created within XP or Vista. The problem is theoretically
soluble short term by playing with the folder ACLs from the Vista side
but I haven't verified that yet.

I happened to be in the US and in Seattle that week. I had plenty of
friends to visit on Microsoft campus on one particular day. So I failed
to get stirred up by not having one meeting. They asked to talk to me
and didn't follow up. You care more deeply about it than I.

I have been in their face for about three years now via betas, the MVP
program administrators and my blog
http://msmvps.com/thinice which
provides a lot of tracking detail for WMP-specific issues.

I look in a small number of newsgroups. If someone is multiposting
blindly without waiting for a response then I will say something. If I
don't and it's a heavily patrolled newsgroup (eg windowsxp.general) then
it's likely that you'll get flamed by someone else.

The track acquisition process hasn't changed much from the end-user
perspective. That's all I said.

I have no idea what you're trying to imply here.
