This reminds me of the time I called my ISP to have them fix the perpetually increasing ping on my connection.
I requested a credit to my account as I was not able to use the connection for what I ordered the service for: Playing games! [read: surfing porn]
The person on the other end of the phone put me on "hold/mute" while I was running their "tests". He proceeds to start making fun of my request for a credit and blah, blah, blah to his co-workers.

I said, "Next time, you might want to test your mute button to make sure it works before making comments to your co-workers about customers currently on the phone with you."
He sheepishly replied, "I'm sorry, sir. You should have a $20 credit on your next statement."

perhaps M$ should consider a voluntary recall. This would save a lot of money, would it not? (lawyer fees, etc, etc.)

From TFA: Chief executive Eric Schmidt has, however, ruled out developing a Google browser to compete with Microsoft's dominant Internet Explorer. Really? What's this? http://betterwhois.com/bwhois.cgi?domain=gbrowser. com&x=0&y=0
