Last August I bought myself an upgrade Hone Premium disk from Amazon to upgrade Windows XP Media Center to Vista. I have been using it off and on since then and just today I installed the newest updates for Vista and I received the image you see above. Im sorry but as a paying customer I will not deal with this bullshit, sorry for the language. I have already deleted my Windows partition and now have Ubuntu 7.10 as the only OS on my computer.
Microsoft goodbye its been a great 10 years.

Thor667 I think you missed the point here, it as stated the “bullshit” asociated with it, not the fact that yes he could have called, when he should not have to… period.
There is no excuse for such a thing to happen anymore from m$

Ouch, been there.
I remember sitting their in amazement as it took two hours to install the driver for my USB Bluetooth dongle. Yet with Edgy (at the time), I was able to get it working in a couple of minutes.
BTW, here is another tidbit to help you on your journey.
