Yeah go ahead call them up. Let us know (25 word limit please) how it
went with the call center attendant in philipines or india.
 
@Ashok,
 
Thanks for the attempted corrections, however your ubuntu links show nothing about OSX Lion and Ubuntu. I believe this was the help wanted by the original poster. You have embraced the MAC system quite well, but at the same time you are pro-Open Source. How does this work out? Is this not what I wrote on another thread, Unix kernel devotees turning to totally closed systems?
 
Regarding my calls to India and the word count limit you place, I've been away from M$ for many years. However, this is quite interesting now so as a renewed interest in the war, please please ensure that your Open Hardware platforms are in place. Who knows, my renewed interest may one day take me to Richmond where I can lay my case for all the losses that the enterprise is taking in due to leaving hardware platforms open. If totally proprietary systems can get away with anti-competitive behaviours, then I see no reason why others cannot follow suite.
 
Some limited thots. :-)
