Microsoft Tech Support Saves the Day
I just couldn't resist posting this
 Microsoft Tech Support Saves the Day There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10m visibility when his instruments went out. So he began circling around looking for landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous. Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. The pilot banks the plane around, rolls down the window and shouts to the guy "Hey, where am I? To this, the solitary office worker replies "You're in a plane." The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out. The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it. "Simple" replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just a while away."

Actually it would have been more correct if the solitary office had yelled : $300 for phone service, $150 by email, and $360 flat rate...

True story.
The Boss Lady is a nurse. One day a couple of weeks ago, a patient came in with what looked like a couple of insect bites on his wrist. With red streaks running up his arm from them. Quickly now, what would you do? Go see a doctor, right. This guy tells my wife that he called the Microsoft Help Desk about it!!!! At least THEY told him to go see a doctor.... |

I'm sorry, but support for this sort of Microsoft humor has been discontinued. This behavior is by design.

Lol. Great. Now I dl the microsoft crash analyser-When my pc crash-it redirected me to a page when I restart the pc. The only thing I get from this analyser is that there is a device hardware failure. When I track it, I just get a log. Now it will be useful if it told me what device that has the error. Answer 100% true, but I need some more info with that. Anyone knows how to ue the crash analyser
