Grrrrrrrr.. and double grrrrr. This time its Microsoft. I got a new PC for the Man Cave but it hung during set up and it locked into a death loop.

It’s a micro PC box with no fan and can run constantly at low power and runs XP on an Atom processor. I tried the maker but they’rein Israel and not responsive.

I called Microsoft but they want me to pay $60 for support for a product I haven’t even officially activated yet. Reason? They stopped supporting XP in April. So WHY THEN ARE THEY STILL SELLING LICENCES FOR IT?

This was a legitimately acquired piece of software, acquired in good faith. But no, we’re not going to support it. And they wonder why people buy pirated software? Heck, if there’s no support attached why not go it alone?

You can’t suck and blow at the same time people.
