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.

    A consumer is said to be "cutting corner on hardware" because he buys a gateway?

    Can you please give us your approved list of hardware vendors? Is it just alienware? Or do you mean newegg and that everyone on the planet should just know how to assemble a computer and install one?

    Does the article mention whether or not his computer met your approved number of LEDs in the case? I know that's probably the second thing on your checklist.
