feedback microsoft

Please excuse me if I missed this somewhere, but where in Vista is the utility to send user experiences and/or feedback and/or suggestions to Microsoft?
This is a Beta product and I could not figure out where the utility was. Or does it have to be in writing by mail?
Or, does the OS collect information by itself and call home on its own periodically?
Regards and thanks in anticipation for any insights.

Did you click on the Feedback icon on the desktop?

Downloaded and installed. Just what I was looking for!
Cool.
Thanks.

There is no such icon on my desktop - I may have deleted it by mistake when I tried to reduce the clutter! I was installing several utilities like avast!, Regcleaner, DivX, Adobe Reader......... and wound up with half-a-screen of shortcuts. Multiple shortcuts, like in the case of DivX, besides.
Thanks for letting me realize that such an icon does (or did, in my case) exist. I shall watch out for it when I try out the x64 version on my test setup later this week.
Regards.

Feeback calls up an html page on which is a hyperlink for sharing your impressions about Vista and a link to start the download of the MBC and FTP transfer tools. It makes giving all manner of feedback very slick. Good luck with x64.
