I opened the support incident (shortly after your suggestion, Robear - only
this post is late ;-) ).
What happened then:
- first 2-3 days nothing
- then I've got a reply from support with some clear instructions what to
check / to do
- followed the instructions. The first ones did not help. But
(unfortunately) the last one: Repair-Installation of windows. After that it
works find now for months. Replied to the mail from support - saying
everything is fine now.
- Then got a call (!) from support asking if everything is fine now (he
knew about my reply ...). He asked some questions and wanted to know exactly
what I did and what did work and what not. Then we agreed on closing the
incident.
- After that I got a mail asking for feedback for this incident. Among the
questions there was one asking if the closure of the incident was agreed by
me. The other questions had to do with customer satisfaction and quality.
I was really surprised. I read all these mostly negative postings about MS
support and I have a totally other experience. This was a great job and I am
impressed. I work as an IT professional and have a lot of experience with
hotlines - but this was really outstanding. And the questionaire at the end
shows that MS takes the support serious (at least at security related
incidents).
Good job!
