Surveys: Starting a workflow

// May 27th, 2008 // Sharepoint

Had an interesting little problem today: My manager asked me to collect feedback from a user on the new instance of a survey item. After creating the workflow etc etc, i got the following error:

The status of a workflow appears as “Failed to Start” when you try to start a workflow from a survey response in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

Well to my dismay i googled around and found that Microsoft do not support workflow on survey lists. Microsoft, is this a bug or is it permanent? obviously there is a workaround, but surely this MUST be resolved ASAP!
