Microsoft Denies Call-in 'Save XP' Petition
CWmike writes "Gregg Keizer digs deeper on a report that said Microsoft was logging calls from customers who requested that the company extend the retail availability of Windows XP to find that some users claimed that they couldn't get through to the support lines. Microsoft denies that it organized any kind of call-in petition and pleaded with users not to dial its technical support numbers to ask for an XP extension. 'As a courtesy to customers in need of technical assistance, we ask callers not to call Microsoft Customer Support Services to request an extension for Windows XP,' a company representative said. Microsoft declined to comment on whether its support lines had experienced a call-volume spike starting last Friday, when the Neowin notice first appeared."
1 900 FUCK YOU. Have your credit card ready, the cost is $50/hour.
Who knows, it might work. Chances are they will give you back XP without DRM if you simply refuse to buy Vista or Windows 7. By then, of course, you won't care because people who start using GNU/Linux or OSX or any thing other than Windows never go back to Windows.
I've read that the "support" lines have been jammed since the introduction of Vista, so that part is not so unusual.
No calls now, I'm

When ME came out I hated it and started using 2000, and after trying Vista I hated it and then recently Server 2008 a shot, and WOW, its as big a difference as ME was to 2000. 2008 is very usable for me, download the 60 day trial from M$.
Do slashdotters even know how to dial a phone anymore?
Then again it might be nice for them to hear a woman's voice that's not their mom or pron moans even if it is just a recording saying "your call is very important to us..."
Go fucking end it all by slitting your fucking wrists fucktard.
