Have you filed a bug report recently? I filed one this summer and had a response the next day.
I have filed a couple, and voted for several existing ones. Always had something like "it's too late in the release cycle, WONTFIX" as an answer. While I do stumble across VC++ bugs fairly often (that compiler seriously has way more bugs than other major C++ compiler, both language bugs and internal errors) I simply do not report them anymore. What's the point if they're all going to be marked WONTFIX?
Here some lists of bugs fixed:

Those are library bugs. The problematic bugs to get fixed are those in the compiler itself. Codegen bugs tend to get fixed eventually. Minor C++ bugs sometimes get fixed if you're lucky. Core C++ bugs? they're all closed, unless the bug is so major that the feature doesn't work at all.
