Snail mail is no guarantee, either.
At the newspaper I work at, we receive a lot of "form letters" (mainly from partisan political types) with a constituent's signature. The letters say the same thing almost verbatim, with only the signature being different. We publish the letters, but they get *last* priority over those who can write their own thoughts w/o having to rely on some party appartchik to do their thinking for them.
If something like that arrives in Macsoft's mailboxes, they might ignore it as well. So the only way to get their attention may be to make phone calls and/or write long, stylized and personalized letters (preferably in calligraphy in blue ink on real parchment). Either that or we can get a for-hire interest group to "inform" them of their "constituents'" concerns.
My point? It's probably not worth the time or effort. If a well-intentioned effort is automatically viewed as spam and nothing more than form letters with signatures, then it's Apple's loss (and, indirectly, Macsoft's), Microsoft's gain.
