Having decided to upgrade my bought and paid for copy of Windows 95 to Windows 98, I bought the official upgrade disk fron Microsoft.
It didn't work and I kept getting the blue screen of death. Got on to Microsoft technical support, and they were about as much use as a one legged man at an @rse kicking contest. Now, a few years later, having spent many hours trying to get the upgrade to work after Microsoft tech support gave up, I am still running Windows 95 on that machine.
And their opening hours - you can phone anytime between 9.00am and 5.30pm. So I either take a day off work or take the desktop in to work with me?
Whilst I don't condone software piracy, sometimes I get the idea that Microsoft encourages it.
