Vacuum Cleaner Sales Just As Helpful As Microsoft Support
Advances in technical support: Student's Windows 7 Won't Work, CSR Transfers Him To Vacuum Seller.
A guy
buys Windows 7, but it won't activate...
After hours of failed attempts at activating Windows 7, I finally got connected to an actual person. He asked for my installation ID, which I gave him. He told me that the ID was invalid, which both my computer and the robot woman had said multiple times, so I began to explain my problem.
Halfway through, I heard the standard "hold" music and assumed he was transferring me to another customer service rep. The person who picked up? Bonnie with Oreck Vacuums. I said I was transferred to her from Microsoft, and she was very surprised. She was amused, though she said it had never happened before. Also that if I needed my computer cleaned up, she had the perfect canister of compressed air for my problems.
The photo shows a satisfied customer who successfully installed Windows 7 on his Oreck vacuum cleaner.
