A simple request

Every time I log on to vista and I have to type the password.

Why can the type cursor always be on the password field, without having to
move the mouse and select it to type.
It is a simple but absolutely necessary thing. Where else would the cursor
be useful if the user is already selected to type the password?

Take this in consideration to make vista better and not just another
operating system.

A simple reply:

This isn't an official MS forum where you make requests. It's an open
peer-to-peer forum.

And right now there is NO way average users can submit such requests
to MS.

In my Vista, as the only user, the cursor is in the password box and I can
immediately type in the password.

Try using the TAB key a few time to see if it brings focus to the password
box.

And in the web interface, we have the option under "New": "Suggestion for
Microsoft"

So Montgomery can shove that!
I'm sure it would fit!

The program exists. They are still accepting emailed requests for
enrollment, which is what you might call a waiting list. If I were truly
interested in being a part of the program, I'd want to get that email on
record.

And then there's this:
