Well, as luck would have it, the failed WGA check happened to me again today. My expensive heavy laptop just became yet another paper weight. I’m typing this on my 1 hour limited desktop session while I move all my files over to my external hard drive to back up.
I’m tired of this crap coming from Microsoft. This is how they treat us paying customers while all those who download the illegal copies of Vista can use their computers fine.. I have FREAKIN 4 COPIES OF YOUR STUPID VISTA OS (actually, 5 counting this Asus laptop which came with Vista) for Christ sake! Well enough is enough. One can only take so much. This is going to be the end of Vista for me. Once I backup all my files, I’m going to complete wipe my machine and reinstall XP for gaming purposes. I’m going to make Ubuntu my main system now. If I’m forced to use it, I’m confident that I’ll learn how to use it in no time. I might even consider looking at a Mac laptop in the future! *shudder*
Microsoft, I’ve been a big fanboy of your products since I started taking interest in computers back during the DOS 6.2 days. Ask anyone who knew me when I was younger, they would tell you how I would religiously promote your products. Heck I even made a career out of your technology. But your latest blunders have really made me reconsider my past decisions and this WGA crap has really let me down. As if it matters, but you just lost a faithful customer along with everyone who I have contact with. I will never recommend your products again.
