Could be worse - had a client who received an email support reply from MS in
Redmond sent from a mac. Who knew?

Um, whenever I try to access Windows Updates, rather than get the update site
I get the aforementioned message from Microsoft to go to the macsupport area.


FWIW, I'm not on a Mac and I don't care if everyone at MS up to and
including Gates is on a Mac. I need some support help on this issue for my
PC and was hoping to find it in this forum.
