Thread: Thanks Microsoft

    Angry Thanks Microsoft

    Microsoft is one of the most successful businesses in the world. They make tons of money. They opened this site called DreamSpark (www.dreamspark.com) and they give away free software to students. Well, I downloaded Expression 2, and Expression Web wouldn't install. I contacted support, and they gave me a weblink. I went to it. And what do you know? They gave me support options. But wait... look at the little text:
    Cost: $100 per support question.

    WHATS THE POINT OF GIVING FREE SOFTWARE???!!!
    Well, anyways, I wont be buying anything from them for a while.

    Well if they give away free software who's gonna pay for support. For me it makes sense.

    You're complaining about support for software you got free? If you can't get it running do as Smith says or google the problem. Most of the time you'll find a solution.

    yea google it .. there must be another frustrated costumer in this world that bought from microsoft the same thing and paid for the support ..and posted somewhere the solution ..so others won't pay once again .

    That is true. Except for stuff that adds on to expensive stuff.
