Trust me, they're working on it. No need to bother them with that.

It is not their problem, anyways.

Like you said, your power shut off.

There are many programs who can be severely affected by an instant power shut off. The windows operating system itself being one of them. And that is a multi-billion-dollar software engineering project. So don't get your hopes up for bitcoin any time soon.

Simply delete the block chain, re-download it, and invest $100 in a UPS (Un-interruptable Power Supply) so you have time to shut off your computer the next time your power goes out.

You shouldn't really be running the bitcoin client 24/7 open on a machine anyways. What happens when somebody decides to use your computer for a minute? They could transfer all of your funds away in a second.
