Comments on: Haven’t had a reason to complain about Microsoft in awhile… http://www.miguelito.org/2008/02/23/havent-had-a-reason-to-complain-about-microsoft-in-awhile/ My little corner o' the web where I spout any crap I feel like spouting. If you disagree... either leave, or better yet, comment. Note: All postings on this site are my opinion, and mine alone.

And don't forget, Microsoft has not been profitable in anything outside of the Windows PC market where the product could not directly leverage the Windows monopoly. ie, they make around 80% of their profits from Windows and MS Office and 10's of billions annually go to support those money losing products like the Xbox. You might be better off reselling that Elite unit as soon as you get it back and cut your losses or expect to keep returning it and accept that is the TCO for the product. Kinda like viruses and anti-virus software are part of the TCO of Windows. And the new WordPress layout looks good. sorry to hear of your hassles but you do know it is a Microsoft product so I wouldn’t give it the kind of expectations of quality you give others.
