Responding to a VSS Bug Report
The community wins just keep coming across my desk today. Perhaps that’s because I sent out a request for them…
Came across a very nice post to reference during your community report as a good customer experience:

I posted the above way back in August, and on request I filed a bug
report. Now, I tried to use the build program in the April Community Build, and guess what: it now works flawlessly. Great work! Thanks a lot!
