…but only if you have a Home-Edition or MediaCenter-Edition. So if you’ve paid the extra bucks for the Pro Edition (which I did) you get less support. What’s that all about? A so called “companies have the cash so they should pay for the support of home users” motto? What about: a company has some several hunderd (if not more) installations of Windows XP, you know what: we’ll give them free support until 2014, just like the Home-users. Of course not: nobody would believe that to be a viable marketing strategy.
I think Microsoft marketing personnel is the best. Worth their weight in gold. No, double that. But still they are the reason why Microsoft sucks.
Update: I suck. MS extended the support on Home/MCE to match the support of Pro. So I guess that’s okay 😉
