I'm not sure that *users* know what to ask for.  I don't think that
anecdotal evidence is the best way to improve a UI.  Probably the best 
thing to do would be to find a University with a good HCI department
(U. Toronto comes to mind) and "partner" with them.  Partnering is
good, because it is marketing buzzword #45.
