If feedback is a tool "to let the vendor know of any problems," then why isn't it internal? Why do any responses appear with the product, positive or negative? It's not "feedback"--it's just advertising, as I said before. As you apparently agree, Styxx--after all, "you won't see nike saying 'buy our product even though it gives you blisters, blah blah'." So if it's advertising, let's call it that; I was naive enought to think that all the "feedback" reponses posted automatically--had to actually try to post one before it became apparent that the vendor could weed out any they didn't like. It's dishonest (as Nike advertising that doesn't say anything about 12-year-olds in sweatshops is dishonest), and a disservice to potential buyers. I'm not saying a product marked "PC Only" should work on a Mac. I'm saying it's an act of faith every time I buy or download a product (except those few available specifically in Mac format), that I'll be able to convert it and use it. It would be helpful to know that other mac users had run into problems with a specific marketplace item, such as the Vairesh hair. It's great that you beta test for mac use, wish more vendors would. A picture posted in the gallery goes away, as would a post in a forum such as this one. I think a responsible vendor would want to include disclaimers like "really doesn't work on a Mac," to avoid problems with future customers.
