Did you try to activate and it didn't work? If so, they are down

Why do people have to give smart ass remarks? I was wondering that too
because a post that I read made it sound like, if we go try it and it is
still down then it will mess up our Windows authentication. So, I wanted to
ask that before trying it too.

I posted a thread here last week about E-Mailing to activate Vista.
I have since found out that Microsoft has a TTY phone number for activation
so I searched for and found a free software program that allows you to phone
TTY numbers with your computer.
I have tried the software and it works pretty good, but the only number I
called was their tech support.
I have been unable to connect to Microsoft's TTY number and that is why I
asked if the servers are still down.
The software I am referring to can be found at

The Product Activation and the WGA servers are both
functioning properly.

Here's why...keep this in mind when interacting with the public.
You should understand the principle of IQ. Draw a normal bell curve that
represents intelligence. There is a central tendency where the average
intelligent people are found. And by observation you will notice that half
the people fall to the right and these are intelligent people. The people
on the left are below average, less intelligent people. Conclusion, half
the people you run into in general society are below average intelligence.
Another observation, the dumb people are to the LEFT and FAR LEFT, (i.e.,
Mrs. Clinton)

It's a long running newsgroup tradition...from the very beginning. I
know, I was there. LOL!
I only give such responses to those that richly deserve them. Sadly
way too many clowns in this newsgroup DO deserve such responses. I
assume you know I'm not talking about you. Consider it part of the
ambience, otherwise groups like this would be awful bland.
There's almost always a clueless loud mouth boastful jerk like Frank
and a Mr. Arnold and several posters that REALLY known a thing or two
that chase such self-important fools around with a stick and wack them
around... just for the sport of it. Think no more of it than what it
is, just playful banter. Some of us are obviously better at it than
others. ;-)

None and err.. none at a guess.
No organization or individual should be dependent on a personal computer OS
they run to get a job done. These OSes are not written for critical systems
and should not be used for such systems. When was the last time you saw a
telephone exchange dependent on windows or Unix to actually work? or a
powerstation?
Life goes on even after you have died and no matter how many times windows
or Ubuntu crashes, the fact of life, none of them are are important to the
world.

You don't know much about computers.
There are several applications that are added to Win 2000 or XP that
will keep running if the kernel fails. As an example, we setup a factory
running on a small server where all coordination was done via a Windows
2000 OS with that application installed - ran 24/7 for 3 years without a
reboot.
In the industrial sector many processes are controlled by Windows
servers and workstations - production would halt without them running.
Stability is a matter of knowing the OS and hardware and not allowing
ignorant users to change anything.

Something failing eventually is different that something failing
constantly. That is a nutshell describes Microsoft software. You MVPs
wonder why people laugh at you?
Even when Microsoft makes a major blunder, what's your response? Oh,
it's fixed now. Damn, talk about misplaced loyalty. They say dogs have
undying blind devotion to their owners if you treat them right.
Nothing compared to MVP lap dogs that blindly defend Microsoft no
matter what.
