Beats talking to someone overseas who you can't understand!

Doesn't it make you feel bad that you cannot converse with anyone that is not a native English speaker? I mean, imagine, if God forbid, you ever had to travel abroad to a country where English is a second language!!! That must be like Hell for you :Q Something must be done to prevent people like you from suffering thus :| I vote that they ban foreign countries. BAN! BAN! BAN!








Oh, BTW, STFU - can you understand that? :sneer;

How about you STFU? It is not really all that odd for an english speaking person who buys a product in a box labeled only in english in a country that the native language is english expect the support be delivered in english. :roll:

 

[PokerGuy]

Nope, I've never called them and I'm not about to start either. If it comes to that, I'll be using Linux.

 

[Toasthead]

ugh

Exactly. The support is being delivered in English. You just lack the ability to understand a foreign accent. Even Americans don't always share the same accent. Different parts of the same country use different accents and yet somehow you manage to survive :roll: Nobody's forcing you to buy MS products - if they aren't pampering you enough by providing support in your accent of preference, don't give them your business. What can MS do if the American accent comes at a premium - they know you won't pay that premium. So it's all really your fault!

I do it all the time.

Then it sounds ike they treat me like a theif.

Then I ponder why they would be so cruel, to me, the softest, snuggliest, teddy bear manchild in the world.

I ponder it some more.

Windows fcks up.

Said process is repeated

yes

 

[Vanman]

So far I haven't had to call MS to reactivate my copy....what's odd about this is I have swapped motherboard & CPU 3 times, hard drives 3 times, and just wiped and done clean installs around 4 times. Which probably isn't much compared to some of you, but I figured I would have had to call them by now. Anyone know what the "official" limit on installs, changes, etc before they make you call? I was able to get my copy of win xp & office through a friend who works for MS who paid a grand total of $90 bucks for both at the MS employee store. Almost has me wondering if the copies they sell there are different from standard retail copies.
