Ha, some anniversary I had. Yes SSD, rendered my machine unrecoverable. Wasted 6 hours with different levels of support. All making special promises of "don't worry we have a fix for this "... "YES MICROSOFT YOUR FIX IS EASY...SPEND 50 HOURS DOWNLOADING THE WINDOWS 10 ISO (on an optic fibre connection), THEN DO A CLEAN INSTALL AND LOSE ALL YOUR DATA...

Imagine if I hadn't the experience to make sure my drive is backed up before letting Microsoft updates lose on my machine (if you get the choice). Business could have been totalled.

Then to add insult to injury, everytime I was passed to another support agent they ended the chat with "Have a nice day sir" I was pretty much having the worse day I have had since Windows 2.1 updates.

Then the icing on the cake was the last top level support guy said in a dreary depressing voice "I am sorry sir you have used up all our resources, you will need to install a fresh installation. The bonus was they said early on "Oh, we are not going to charge you gor this 6 hour call"

Well all I can say is if you are contemplating a Windows machine, MAKE SURE you instantly purchase a backup program like Acronis...

Hey...stop peeing up my trouser leg...

I never realised the program was about business ethics, but simply an entertaining comedy on how to overcome small man syndrome.

HaHa, perhaps there should be a new comedy series on the BBC. "Public Sector"...obviously the Public Sector cutbacks are insufficient if this is all they can come up with. How about questionaires on reducing childbirth rates, that might be more constructive.
