MrJP wrote:Take it back to PC World for a replacement, explaining the problems you've had with Microsoft. Under UK law the vendor is responsible for providing a functional product, which they have failed to do. Even though this was strictly out of their control, they're still obliged to correct the problem and then deal with Microsoft as their supplier. This should be quicker and cheaper than having to return discs to MS yourself.

danny e. wrote:I think this means Bill Gates gets to go over to his house and kick him in the crotch. Which probably isn't necessary, since he can afford to pay for people to do that for him. Ballmer can afford that too, but I think he'd enjoy the whole kicking part too much to delegate it.I guess the lesson here is "dont install angry"
