Windows Vista

**stuart** · 25-08-2007,06:17 PM

Anyone had problems with Windows Vista today? It appears that myself, and a load of others around the world have had reduced features imposed because of a server fault with the activation of Vista.... It is under the impression that we all have illegal software.

It looks like it will be Tuesday BEFORE a company the size of Microsoft will rectify this.....

Disgusted!

I think this could cause a few problems for Microsoft, there are a lot of very unhappy customers around the world.....

It was the time it took before anything was done about it that caused the problems, people being told they will have to wait until Tuesday at the earliest. Must admit though, once the member called Phil was on the case, he is in charge of the system I belive, it only took him and his team about 2-3 hours to sort it.

I find this odd. although i've not read the links provided by stuart, i find it difficult to believe that once you have bought and registered you copy of vista, the only way you should encounter problems is if you do something or your pc has a fault. As i understand this issue, when you are online you are permanantly linked to microsoft, so if they have a problem so do you. Which leads me to wonder further....

What else are they monitoring that you are unnaware of?
