Then I could get serious problems in Windows that have been languishing for years in Microsoft's fault database reactivated by bitching about them in my blog.

No jokes, it took a tad over 7½ hours for an apology to arrive from the Windows product manager and the bug re-activated, and another 3 for the problem to be confirmed

Update: Not only that, it was only a matter of hours after Nick's initial post before it was reported in the mainstream press

Who says this blogging lark is a waste of time?! Although I seriously need to work on raising my profile instead of just being "that Awasu guy"
