DropDeadEd Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Downloading things for some reason is alot more fun then actually using it. I currently have my eye on a 5 finger Windows Vista. i see $$ happening. why don't you just call Micro$oft for valid keys? Last I remember, I obtained several by calling them for a new one.Did you already have a purchased copy of Windows Vista? Wouldn't you like to know.Guess not. You must know your way around with microsoft operators. Seeing as how most are from India ... anyway, no, it wasn't that hard at all. At the time, they weren't asking for any personal information or anything of the sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 That reminds me of the Hewlett Packard technical support for their computers. Yeah, I've bought a few HP desktops in the past. All I can say is, the support team from India is a real pain to deal with. Sometimes I don't understand them and most of the time they don't understand me. I don't know how JD & Power gave them an award in customer support last year. Also, computer companies in Florida (Aliewnare, Dell) seem to hire a lot of Cubans for their customer support. They're better than Indians, but I forget how many times I've been lost in translation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackKnight Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Yeh I also somehow doubt Microsoft support are authorised to just hand out product keys to anonymous folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have manipulated the operator ... lied to them in someway, shape, or form to make them believe he has a purchased copy of Windows Vista in his hands. Think a little people.

Robert Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Maybe he means activation keys. When I got my XP computer, I rang up, read the number to them, and they gave me another number to type in. I can't imagine support just giving CD keys over the phone with no proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember the one and only time I ever called up MS for tech support, they wanted to know every detail from where I bought my comp to what my mother's maiden name was before they would tell me anything. Not that they ended up helping me at all, but still. I don't think I could've slipped a fake or non-existant key past them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.S.D Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Nah, no need for that. I can't tell the difference or whether it is real or not since I have never used an original copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
