Thanks for your great sites.
It would be nice to have an iPhoneTaskforce : as much as I love my iPhone 3G, I have found a lot of user interface and user interaction inconsistencies with it, which I would like to express.

I would REALLY like there to be an Ubuntu Taskforce!
Good work on the Aero Taskforce!

Great. Any thoughts of making it available through open source (preferred) or selling it as a downloadable product?

Great execution. Curious to know which software do you use for the taskforce site? is it something you wrote yourself or is it available out there opensource / commercially?

thanks in advance

Enough fan boy comments! I hate the term fanboy. if you dont like that long created a apple one then dont go there. simple as that.

How about a Windows Live one.. I agree with windows 7, but it seems the vista one has parlt become a windows 7 one with the feature requests. no problem with that because its part of the user experience quarks..

I see microsoft buying the task force site someday…. i can just see it..

This Taskforce idea is definitely great, keep the work going !

By the way, I think you heard about the new “Engineering Windows 7″ blog by Steven Sinofsky and Jon DeVaan. There are already plenty of suggestions for Windows 7 in the first post (which is just a presentation of the blog) and the thing is when you read all the comments you notice that a lot of the suggestions are actually the same. So a Windows 7 Taskforce would be awesome !

Right on! Hopefully this all works, and they take notice. If they do, you’ll have been instrumental in worldwide GUI change.

These taskforce websites are a brilliant idea. I really hope both Microsoft and Apple pay attention to them.

There’s certainly scope for other taskforces – in particular I’d love to see an iPhone one. It’s a rather hot platform at the moment, and we certainly need to make it clear to Apple where its shortcomings are (even the minor ones as these taskforces are good at pointing out).

Keep up the good work.
