Story: Vista bug report probed

Hacker Scams are down the priority list compared to MS Vista itself

We needed a Gateway laptop with Vista Business, but at Best Buy could only purchase with Vista Home preinstalled along with an "upgrade disc which will enable online upgrade".
We were not given the option of upgrading to a business edition only the ultimate version, unnecessary and OTT, but to add insult to injury having deducted the fee from the credit card and completed the "upgrade", along comes the supposedly defunct Blue Screen of Death necessitating a complete reinstall (back to Vista Home).
A look at the paid for options available did not reveal the upgrade so the process had to be repeated with exactly the same result. And now we have 2 debits to the CC, a useless laptop and no one accepting liability.

Nice one MS

What was achieved there is recognised to be of fundamental importance to both winning the war (Churchill visited to say 'thank you' to them) and the development of the computer. Maybe Bill Gates doesn't want to support this museum because it underlines where electronic computing started i.e. here, not the U.S.
