digitan signal processing? lol did you even read the link befor you gave it?

Here is the correct meaning for DSP regaurding windows:

Microsoft OEM DSP Delivery Service Partner product. This is almost the same
package as "OEM" on but charge their "partners" (Microsoft OEM DSP dealers)
higher price (compared with "OEM" as above) and let "partners" solve
end-user's problem with the "help" of Microsoft & Developers on Web sites.

If you bought an OEM version of Vista, then basically you're responsible for
supporting yourself.

If I understand DSP correctly, you're paying a little more for that copy of
windows (and so are the Sellers), though less than full retain, because the
DSP will be providing you with technical support, and they have back-end
support to Microsoft and developers

In both cases, you don't get direct Microsoft support.

In the more than 12 years that I have been using microsoft products
I never asked for MS support nor will I ever do so!

So I dont care... however is DSP tied to the machine you first install it on
just like OEM is? I guess it is....

I paid the $159 for home premium. What support am I getting from Microsoft.
I've never gotten support from Microsoft dating back to DOS 3.1. How does
one go about getting support from Microsoft?

You call the usual 1-800 number in the user manual. If you have a supported
"retail" product, you can ask them why something doesn't work and they will
help you fix it.

I has a end-user never called Microsoft for help. But a company I once
worked for, had a premium support package and we had unlimited calling for
the servers, mail etc and that was actually pretty nice.

Can't imagine calling MS asking why internet explorer crashes when I go to
hotasianchicks.com, but I guess people do.

You're the clueless **** for not saying what it was in reference to.

DSP is the internationally recognised Acronym for Digital Signal
Processing.

Whoa ! Kinda harsh with the words there aren't you ? The title should have
been an indicator as to what it was in reference too.

THere are so many people posting completely unrelated stuff in this
newsgroup that it wouldn't surprise me if it had nothing to do with
Windows.
