Interesting read. Although, I wasn't a fan of the banner asking for feedback at the bottom. I immediately clicked no without reading what it was (It was something to the extent of 'Is this page helpful?') Although, after dismissing it I wanted to say Yes but after submit I can't change my opinion.

Same here, I did the same. Also: for me all MSDN pages became reeeeaaaally slow ever since I installed Ghostery. I just see a blank page for like 5 seconds before I can see the content. More people with this problem?

  [Full disclosure, I work at Microsoft] @an4rchy, I think if you open the page in private mode it will most likely ask you again. If that does not work, feel free to contact me and I can pass on your comments (my email is my HN alias + microsoft.com). @Avalaxy, it would be great when you click Yes or No, that you also try to add a comment about your issue or why you liked the page. I can not speak for every group, but most groups I know of review the voting and comments for all of their pages really carefully. For example, my team has a weekly discussion on this and what we plan to do to improve the pages. If a page gets a negative vote along with a comment why it poor, it is much easier to improve the page, however, if it simply has a negative vote we have to make guesses as to why it was poor.

    I get that, but the point is that I accidentally clicked No because instinctively I thought that was the way to dismiss the bar (in my mind it was something like: do you want to provide feedback yes/no, to which I clicked no). Only after clicking I realized my error.

    @Avalaxy, I completely agree with you and I have also taken this set of comments and passed it on to the MSDN team.

For me that's an annoying experience. It's there at the bottom of each Azure page, pops in immediately, without a chance to digest the information first. Pretty bad UI.
