I answered your question Kurt.
No one but can help you read if you choose to ignore what is written.

No you didn't. All you did was change the subject to needlessly protect
your precious MS.

Just like you needlessly change my words. You are a total child, and
MS is your momma.

Wonder if that "Live" support is coming to you "Live" from India?

When I call support I get an English speaking person in the USA ever
time.

I've never had the pleasure of calling MS support. Gosh, I wonder how I have

If its' anything remotely challenging for them, they'll (MS
[un]Support[ive]) will offer to keep the issue open until resolution. Until
then they'll keep the money until resolution comes, if it comes at all. You
may get the install SP3 solution if you choose to wait for it. I see you've
also never had the humour of calling MS support either, funny when you
resolve an issue before they do. Stick to these new groups, after all MS
[un]Supportive[ive] most probably will scan them to find your solution.

The first thing they always is say, "hold on a few minutes please while I do
a search on your issue"... then... "found nothing, here's your incidence
number, please quote..." you get the rest of it.

That's not the way it worked for me the last time.

I was finding it impossible to get a 2003 server to allow inbound PPTP
sessions through RAS, tried everything I could think of. Switched out
firewalls with known good ones.... I finally called MS and the chap
spent about 2 hours on the phone with me, sending me diagnostic code, me
sending traces/reports, etc... He did this even though we had both
determined it was the firewall (not a MS product) that was causing the
problem and that MS had nothing at fault. Oh, I was not charged anything
for the support call.

Even when it is related to something from MS, I've always found they
could solve it in short order (under 4 hours) and didn't charge me for
it.

Lucky you Laythos, that the support technician didn't make you uninstall
every service pack, patch, fix and switch off services and turn on others
just to try and get a MS blue tooth keyboard and mouse working, and when my
system was left on the edge I get the, "we can keep this issue open until
resolution" benign offer. Now they want to charge money to fix their short
comings???

Much cheaper, easier and effective to get support on these groups, I agree.

You don't get the recording that says something like "If your problem is
with MSN Internet, press 1. If you problem is with Windows XP, press 2,
etc."?

In Spain, the ISPs thought it clever and cute to charge for calling support
until our looney much more left than Clinton/Gore/Kerry will ever dream of
being government is insisting that support be a free call ...

Alias, old and its's way past time to hit the sack. Mañana mas.

Actually, I think it's more of how you talk with them and if you are not
a egomaniac and talk like you actually know something and they get
treated with respect, they seem to be just like many of us - very
helpful and patient with lots of seriously in depth knowledge.

See this update which I posted here 90 min + back...

http://news.zdnet.co.uk/0,39020330,39198263,00.htm

"(A UK) IT consultant... added: "Great idea - MS get to turn their
security bugs into a revenue stream... Perhaps it should be more
correctly renamed 'No one cares'."

If MS wanted another revenue stream, they could have sold ads on the BSOD.

No, while Windows works perfectly right out of the box, users start doing
dangerous and damaging things - like email and web surfing. It is these
stupid activities that MS no doubt tends to monitor and correct.

It's like buying a car: there is ZERO chance you'll have an accident until
you start doing stupid things with the new car: driving it home from the
dealership for example.

A. Yes it is. It's called "Top Posting" and frowned on by the Usenet
community.
Q. But isn't that backasswards?
A. If their reply comes BEFORE what they are quoting, they probably use
Outlook Express under Windoze.
Q. How can I tell what OS a Usenet poster runs?
