First Vista crisis, and it's big one

In U.S.
Sony with Vista Business, Core2Duo, 2GB RAM, six months
with no problems.

Today I see surprise warning that Vista must be
validated. What? Cannot use internet but must do
telephone. Many numbers. I enter all correct, but not
valid. Human came on line and we have speaking problem.
I ask to speak slow and she hang up.

Now what. How to find human without whole process again.

Thank you.

Now why would they hang up if you asked them to speak slow? Something else
must have happened. Did you have an attitude? Kinda sounds like it.

Call back without that bitchy attitude and maybe they will help you.

Just FYI

Señor, that it is you with attitude. You assume much,
and wrong also. Is that your life? Very unhappy I think.

Filters work even validate problems. Goodby.

Why would they hang up on you? They are there to help and they only hang up
if the customer is rude or bitchy.

So which is it?

There's no valid reason to have to call someone in India to use
something one has paid for. The fact that you accept Redmond accusing
you of being a pirate until you prove otherwise and that one should be
"polite" when one is forced to jump through the WGA hoops only proves
how brainwashed you are in accepting this control.

If Microsoft thinks someone is stealing from them, they should call the
proper authorities like anyone else. There is no valid reason why paying
customers should be forced to assist MS in catching pirates. If MS wants
to know if I bought my copies of Windows, they can bloody well get a
court order and come over here and demand to see my receipts.

Tired of this crap? Check out Ubuntu, a free operating system that has
no WPA, no WGA, no DRM restrictions and, compared to Windows, it's
bulletproof regarding viruses and malware. Not only that, it comes with
access to over 23,000 free programs. Get it at www.ubuntu.com
