|I downloaded Windows Defender to check for spyware. I'm not sure
| exactly what my last request was; either I asked for a full system scan
| or asked it to update itself. I switched to another PC foolishly
| assuming that a Windows XP system running Microsoft software would
| execute its task without issue. Naturally I was wrong and when I
| checked a few hours later I was greeted with Defender's UI saying:
|
| The program can't install definition updates
| Error found: Code 0x80072ee2
|
| *SIGH* So typical.
|
| Since Defender is promoted as having 2 free support incidents I decided
| to call up because I'm tired of spending all my time fixing or finding
| workarounds to defective products. First I spoke with a technical
| router who had a heavy Indian accent. I gave her my name, phone
| number, and reported the problem to her. I was given an SRX-incident
| number and was transfered to someone who would handle my problem. Next
| thing I hear:
| "We're sorry but we cannot continue processing your call." and the
| line was disconnected!
|
| I called back. This time I was connected with the low talker from
| Seinfeld. (Nice to see she's found new work) Again I reported my info
| and again I was shipped off to a tech support representative. Again I
| hear:
| "We're sorry but we cannot continue processing your call." and the
| line was disconnected!
|
| I called back again. This time I'm furious. Twice now I went through
| this process and twice I was cut off and in neither case did Microsoft
| call me back. I gave them my number; for what? The number I gave was
| my cell, and the phone I used was a landline so there was no
| possibility of a callback being missed. With this third guy I finally
| discovered that Microsoft is having internal problems with their phone
| system and that the group I was being directed towards did not have
| anyone available. This is why I was getting cut off. I asked why was
| I sent on to a dead queue when they knew it wouldn't work and I only
| got an apology. Supposedly my incident has been escalated because I
| was so angry, but who knows if my problem will ever be resolved.
|

|
| I am so sick and tired of nothing ever working. Download software and
| it doesn't work. I ask for help and the help system doesn't work. I
| call up and discover that the phone system doesn't work. Nothing ever
| works anymore and I think it's disgusting. Microsoft is one of the
| most guilty parties in our current world where nothing electrical ever
| works. I'm so damn sick of hardware failures and software conflicts
| and this and that resulting in nearly everything failing. Constantly.
| Then you get the product fanboys who run in to protect their idols: "So
| what if your airbag didn't go off like it was supposed to. It's your
| fault for letting that other car hit you in the first place!" Instead
| of being fanboys consumer need to start demanding that things actually
| work.
