Lol? I've read slashdot for about 6 months, just never had any other reason to post before now. I honestly don't think a major corporation like bestbuy would respond to a lawsuit by having a PR person make an account on slashdot to refute the claims.
By your logic, it's just as likely that you're lying and actually are the CEO of Winternals. If you're going to get that technical, there's NO way to coraborate anything online. Being reasonable, however, my response had more backing than 90% of them on this topic.
I'm guessing two years ago my store used to do the same. However, about a year ago Bestbuy almost entirely changed their SOP, so big changes wouldn't be unexpected.
My backing is that I work on the geek squad. If someone had said "I took MY computer to the geek squad, and all they did was format it", that would be backing. However, "I heard this and that" definately isn't backed.
I've worked on the Geek Squad for about 8 months, and most of these comments are totally false.
1.)NO employee of bestbuy, including the geek squad, works on commission.
2.)There is a geek squad forum at www.geeksquadforums.com, however it is moderated by a corporate manager and pirated software isn't allowed.
3.)I can't speak for any other stores, but I'm positive that our store stopped using Winternals products 6 months ago.
4.)Again, I can't speak for otehr stores, but my store doesn't simply reformat machines. In my 8 months, working on hundreds of machines, I can count the number of machines I've reformatted on my fingers.
Most of these comments are simply people speculating about what they *think* it *might* be like - please don't comment without any backing to it.
Slashdot Mirror
The SOP of bestbuy has a section explaining why it's no longer a company with commission. I think the means ALL employees.

Also untrue.. we have no quotas for products. In fact, my manager tells us not to oversell things.
