I just can't wait for similar numbers hitting msn.com -- I must be a zealot for bashing microsoft.
Often when supporting "your" software product, you are forced to troubleshoot applications interfereing the the operation with your product. Applications such as Norton (although I admit Symantec has gotten better over the years) and that evil Microsoft App known as Windows require tech support personnell to have more skills than their paychecks allow. The other side of this problem, is it becomes very easy to "blame" other applications/drivers/os issues etc.
I'm also sure that the tech support staff get used to dealing with technical incompetents and the restart/reboot/reinstall mentality becomes second nature, rather than diagnosing the problem.
