Unless they've been living with their heads buried in the sand, they should be aware of the universal unhappines concerning the start button and a few other odds and ends. Come June, we should get a pretty good feel for what Microsoft feels about it's customers happiness. I'm not going to hold my breath, but we'll see.

You will see no big changes whatsoever.
Everything is about squashing bugs and minor cosmetic improvements now. The major (bad) decisions about Windows 8 happened internally last summer.
Any and all feedback will be considered for Windows 9 and, more likely, Windows 10, but they have to get this OS out in time for the Christmas 2012 shopping season.

It'll be interesting to say the least. I'm hoping the Metro look is gone but......wishful thinking.
