Story: Licensing anger driving users towards Linux

The home user is also getting fed up with the Microsoft Licensing sceme!

Make a change to your computer, a new hard drive, a new dvd burner, add memory, even some software programs - AND YOU HAVE TO CALL MICROSOFT TO REACTIVATE THE SYSTEM!

Then when you call Microsoft you get someone in India who you can bearly understand, and you have to have them repeat everything a number of times.

This is beyond the pale!

Microsoft - at least put your call center in a place where we can understand the people.
England or the U.S., not Inida where we can't understand the accent. Or sent the people to school to loose the accent!

A number of home users are looking into moving o linux because of this idiocy of Microsoft.

I am suggesting to people to really take a look at Linux when they are looking at a new computer, or if they have trouble with a computer running a Microsoft Windows System.

A number of computer stores here are saying people are starting to run linux because of the stupidity of Microssoft.
