Life after Windows Vista takes the form of either the release of Vista Service Pack 1 or of Vista R2 codename Fiji. In this context, Microsoft has debuted the Windows Early Feedback program
by the end of the Windows Vista Technical Beta phase, inviting testers to give input and feedback on the next version of Windows.

"Many customers have expressed the desire to have an impact on future releases of Windows," explained Microsoft in the program's Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). "We have often heard from customers that they want the opportunity to make suggestions about the way Windows works. The purpose of this site is to gather that early feedback from Windows customers and use it to make the next version of Windows the best release yet."

The registered technical beta tester, which has filled out the opt-in survey requested by Microsoft by December 12, 2006 is now able to start sending feedback, as the Redmond Company revealed that the program has become active.

However, the Redmond Company failed to reveal what exactly will be the focus of the feedback.

"In some cases it might be the next product cycle or longer for a suggestion to be evaluated or implemented. In other situations it might never happen. There is no way to know for sure. Some feedback may be included in Windows Vista Service Pack 1, but the main focus is beyond Vista," Microsoft added. "There is currently no end date set for this program to close. At some point as we draw closer to the release of a beta for the next version of Windows that may change."
