(V): yawn

I'm no big fan of MS, but this is something I get hundreds of by email each day. My /dev/null folder is always hungry

rabbitoid: True, but this also made the News today too.

rod03801: So this time the "wolf" cry really corresponds to something? My apologies to (V), and of course this doesn't change much my opinion of MS products.

rabbitoid: I don't.... I've only seen two articles on MS recently. This one and another which reported a mess up by MS over a patch that caused some people to lose the internet connection thanks to compatibility problems with a firewall program.

.... I in that case had to phone MS to find out which patch to remove.

.... Oh there has been one incident regarding MS though over policy which I took them to task relating to a laptop makers ability to keep software before a certain date that was basically essential if the laptop went unstable and needing a complete wipe and reload.

..... In the end MS said sorry and sent me a free copy of XP sp3 for my partners laptop.

(V): a free copy of xp sp3 ? nice! i should call them as well ;)

please move this discussion to the computer board

Hrqls: Funny thing was that the lady at MS did not know anything about the policy... I had to send a copy of the email to her from the laptop company. That's when they/she said sorry.
