In his blog, Scott Adams describes his exasperating experience following a change of motherboards. Central to the story is the fact that he has two phone numbers for Windows re-activation, both of which claim they are an official Microsoft call center and that the other is a scam. Neither are any help anyway. Seems to be a topical issue right now.

    • Do not purchase any software or services from someone claiming to be from Microsoft.

    Given that I'm pretty sure Microsoft claims to be Microsoft, that's a very interesting advice. ;-)

    Sounds like it could be their Windows 8 sales strategy.
