let me explain it to you in puffy terms:
you bought dell cd + its not registered in your name = you don't get support.

 

Besides they can help you

So they transfer me to Dell and I talk to one lady and she tells me it will cost me a minimum of $99 to speak to a technician.

 

but when I call again this guy tells me they can't help me

 

OK here is where I get frustrated and call you a complete moron for not understanding the most basic of thefterizing ideas and how companies enforce DRM and software theft laws.

You can call Dell and it will cost you $99 to speak to a tech and you will get your help...the lady on the phone already told you that.

Why is it I can read your story as you typed it and understand that much, yet you who made the phone calls missed that entire concept?

 

-youre an idiot
-dell can refuse you cause u didnt get the cds with a dell computer
-you should've just bought xp from a reputable joint.

HAHAHAHAHA

Sorry man.....you just got owned by buying MS the "wrong" way. You should have just bought a valid CD from the store. Dell CD's are licensed to the actual Dell machine it came with. That's it. No if's or but's. The guy who sold or gave you the CD should have told you that.

The $99 fee is what they would probably charge for a license on XP....

Finally, Dell CD's NEVER come with a key. Our company purchase Dell exclusively....

 

so, you owned yourself and taking it out on other companies... ok

 

wow! i can't believe what i'm reading! :lmao:

freakin' PEBKAC and a half!

 

just pirate it like the rest of us.
