Microsoft an Education in Idiocy.

posted in: Microsoft | 0

Hello again my captive Microsoft ABUSEES.

Yes, it’s me again with more examples of the abuse, disrespect, dishonesty, and incompetence, that is MICROSOFT CORPORATION.

For the better part of 5 months I’ve enjoyed the privilege of being abused by The Microsoft Corporation,,, once again. Yes, from 5/14/16 until  10/13/16, I have been dealing with the most inept organization on the planet. 

If you’ve read my earlier post “Microsoft, a license to steal” https://www.politicstrickortreat.com/?p=3360, you have a new treat coming today. Once again this titan of American companies has shown it’s true agenda regarding it’s clientele.

This time however they’ve become much bolder.

images (23)Now, the more they fail to fix your issue, the more they lie to you, and ultimately, the less they will talk to you at all.

Though this invasion of my property actually occurred sometime in May, the lasting effects have haunted me to the point of legal action.

Though the aforementioned link is the story of my initial WINDOWS 10 ASSAULT by Microsoft, it’s by no means the end of the saga.

Yes, THERE’S MORE!

The following story is completely and totally, a result of the Microsoft’s lack of concern, arrogance, and animosity, towards the rights of its’ customers.

images-23On or about 8/4/16 I found, as I often do, even more irritating computer glitches as a result of the Windows 10 invasion I’d endured. The frequency of UNEXPLAINED GLITCHES had become increasingly unbearable, as has the indifference of my problem by Microsoft.

The sheer aggravation of this had finally worn me down, and though I tried to find other alternatives to an act that has become increasingly  nauseating to me, I could not.

Accordingly, after wrestling with the terrifying prospect of calling, dare I say it, MICROSOFT TECH SUPPORT, I did.

Excuse me while I brush my teeth.

I always feel dirty when I talk about,,,,,, THEM.

    OK. I’m back.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME,, NOT AGAIN
     ARE YOU KIDDING ME,, NOT AGAIN

Anyway, I called them and was immediately placed on hold,,,,,, and hold,,,,, and hold, and so forth and so on. So, I hung up after receiving what I considered an acceptable dose of disrespect, and devised a new strategy.

After spending an abnormally painful hour of perusing the Tower of Babel that is the Microsoft website, I found what I sought. A little known link to Microsoft Support that actually provides you with a surprisingly accurate call back time. Evidently it cues you to the next available tech guy, and is untouched by human hands while getting you there, at any rate, it worked, kinda.

If you don’t know where to find this little portal to paradise, here it is.. https://partner.support.services.microsoft.com/en-us/contact/menu/software/windows/ts/

When I finally talked to a tech level one person, Aileen, she assigned my case number as 1349484235 and I was connected to Alex at extension 38745.

After explaining my woes however, Alex put me on hold, for only a short time in point of fact, before I was transferred to Jack.

Jack listened intently as I explained each and every problem that had occurred as a result of the Windows 10 fiasco Microsoft had brought upon me.

being_on_hold

Then, he disconnected me.

That was to become a common event. You see my particular problem with WINDOWS 10, COULD NOT BE FIXED, and they knew it. How you ask? I told them.

After researching my problem I found that my Dell Inspiron 2320 was UNABLE to run windows 10. It Just Don’t Work.

Early in my most recent bout with Microsoft I advised a technician of this fact, even showing him the site where the information could be found.

I gave the following link to Dell’s website to this tech-guy and frankly expected a quick resolution since the MAKER OF THE COMPUTER SAID, “IT DON’T WORK”. 

http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/inspiron-one-2320/manuals

Product not tested for Windows 10 upgrade

Dell is not testing or developing Windows 10 drivers for this product. If you choose to upgrade, some features, applications, and connected devices may not work as expected.

Windows 10 Home cannot be upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium. You can choose to install a new copy of Windows 7 Home Premium instead, but this is different from an upgrade, and does not keep your files, settings, and programs. You’ll need to reinstall any programs using the original installation discs or files. To save your files before installing Windows, back them up to an external location such as a CD, DVD, or external hard drive. To install a new copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, click the Back button in the upper left-hand corner, and select “Custom (advanced)”.

Evidently Microsoft decided not to do their homework. I have no idea what brands, or how many computers WILL NOT RUN WINDOWS 10, but I can assure you that the Dell Inspiron 2320 was one of the best selling on the market, and IT WON’T.

Customers, or Victims
             Customers, or Victims?

The question to me is, how many of these folks have had to either go through my Microsoft from Hell ordeal, or bought a knew computer (that would likely have the Windows 10 operating system, or paid big time to have their computer, analyzed, cleaned, updated and whatever else, only to find, none of it helped?

Who does that benefit? MICROSOFT! Why, it is their mission to replace every operating system they’ve supplied to consumer, with WINDOWS 10.

I honestly believe that the environment Microsoft cultivates is one of, “either solve the problem, lie, or hang up, but get to the next caller AS FAST as you can.”

You may ask yourself, What kind of person would dedicate this much time and effort over such an event, and why?

Here is the answer my friends. As to the kind of person, I’m the kind that will not be insulted. I will address it vigorously. As to Why, BECAUSE IT PISSES ME OFF!!!!

And here’s a short list of the TENDER AREAS that Microsoft and I share, that pisses me off….

  1. Being placed on hold for hours on end.
  2. Being told that I would receive a tech call, and not be called at all. (Over 20 times)
  3. Being emailed that an attempt was made to call me, when I’m sitting beside a perfectly functioning phone,,,, that’s not ringing.
  4. Having to place close to a hundred phone calls before a problem is resolved.
  5. Being totally ignored by techs when they have NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING, and no particular interest in finding out.
  6. Having to talk with people that you have no hope what-so-ever of understanding.
  7. Hung-up on, and/or disconnected over and over and over and over again, and having to re-tread the maze of a customer support department designed to frustrate and discourage customers from using it.
  8. Being told that your request to level a complaint with upper management is not possible since all managers are currently busy. Over and over and over again this happened.
  9. Being asked to stay on the phone for hours on end while techs are roaming through my computer, when the solution in being totally ignored.
  10. Being told that the glitch is due to a virus when Microsoft’s recommended antivirus is already being used. Then required to purchase additional antivirus to fix the problem that Microsoft created in the first place. BUT, IT DOESN’T
  11. Being asked to purchase a priority support package for $149, but still taking hundreds of calls and endless hours and anxiety before the KNOWN solution is addressed anyway.
  12. Being given software as a gesture of good will, when it simply replaces the software that MICROSOFT LOST IN THE FIRST PLACE.
  13. Having to all but beg not to be put on (PERMANENT) hold only to be hung up on.
  14. Being targeted by the Tech Department so that my phone calls are automatically forwarded to customer service where no help what-so-ever is available, and the likelihood of being transferred back to the tech department, is non-existent.
  15. Advising Microsoft that they had failed to contact me after promising to do so, yet receiving no acknowledgement and no further contact.
  16. Being told time and again that Windows 10 was entirely compatible with my computer and convinced to keep it, now that it was “FIXED”, when in reality, it most certainly was not.
  17. A computer that crashes immediately after it is pronounced FIXED by a Microsoft Tech Guru.
  18. A computer that spits out error messages at the speed of light.
  19. Being promised over and over again that a log of all cases and actions, that have been taken on MY COMPUTER, would be emailed to me. A promise that after many email reminders, was NEVER KEPT.
  20. Microsoft refusing to communicate at all regarding (19) above.

Yes, these and many other Microsoft pleasantries do affect my attitude when served in unlimited quantities. 

As I pondered my many encounters with Microsoft it occurred to me that Microsoft, like our government, does what it is allowed to do, and does so with total impunity.

Seriously, even if they’re caught, who the hell can afford to sue them? And, since they know this, they more or less flip you the bird and roll out even more defective products for your enjoyment.

The bottom line is this, if you’re going to deal with Microsoft, you should first invest in a 55 gallon drum of Industrial Strength Preparation-H, because it’s an absolute certainty, that you will need it.

For your further enjoyment I’ve include websites to more Microsoft misconduct.

  1. http://www.pcworld.com/article/3088755/windows/a-lawsuit-over-an-unwanted-windows-10-upgrade-just-cost-microsoft-10000.html
  2. It is hard to see the far reaching effects of MICROSOFT’S invasion of our rights without looking at this one.guys https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware/upgrade-10-class-action-lawsuit/cd4bfca3-e297-479a-a7fd-94bdf765dcc9?page=1
  3. http://www.valuewalk.com/2015/11/windows-10-class-action-microsoft/
  4. http://www.extremetech.com/computing/230794-woman-wins-10000-judgment-against-microsoft-for-forced-windows-10-upgrade

Though I doubt that anything I write will ever influence Microsoft’s conduct either way, I’ve gotta say that it damned sure makes me feel better.

Besides, at this point, hurting their feeling is not something I try to avoid much.

HERE’S WHY BILL GATES AND I DON’T EXCHANGE CHRISTMAS CARDS!

The following email log is a testament to my interaction with Microsoft. Please know that, there were hundreds of phone calls and countless hours spent on this issue, and all the while the total and complete lack of professionalism by Microsoft was abdominal. There is no no empathy, no accountability, and no standard to uphold.

First contact after Microsoft, without my consent, replaced my Windows 7 operating system with their newest fiasco, Window 10 occurred on or about 5/15/16.

This was the first time they hung up on me..

Mr. Sushil Kumar

I need your help. Long ago you gave me this email in response to some bad experiences I’d had with your tech dept. You fixed my problem promptly which I appreciated greatly.
I now have a huge problem with the windows ten that was sent as an upgrade. I’ve had problems continually and as you may remember, I use my computer quite extensively. I need it fixed badly and have gone round and round with your tech people for not fixing it.
Please help..
Thank you,
Gary Robnett

I wish to thank Alize for her concern and her Assurance that I would receive a call regarding 1349484235. Unfortunately, once again, no call was forthcoming. I’m sure she is not to blame for this, OVERSIGHT, as it is certain that it’s nobodies fault at all, again. I would also like to thank Bill Gates for hiring the most grossly unethical and incompetent people on the planet.. I believe that like big banks Microsoft is too big to fail. They are not however too big to be assholes..

Thanks again my friend, We’ll be talking more soon.,,, ALL DAY, EVERY DAY, for the rest of my like…
Have a good day my friends…

Please inform Ricardo, the tech II guy that was working on my case that for whatever reason the Windows 7 reinstall failed. So the system restored Windows 10. Ask him to call me tomorrow.

The issue RX1349484235ID HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. I’VE CALL TECH SUPPORT AGAIN AND WAS PROMISED A PHONE CALL, It is now 2 hours past the promised callback. NO BODY HAS CALLED>>> This is common place in my experiences with Microsoft. This is a tech 2 issue and my Technicians’ name is Ricardo… He has my number. Ask him to call please.

Thank you, Gary Robnett

Good morning my friends. I just knew you’d want to be updated on the progress of my case. Rest assured guys, your consistency is preserved.. Once again, there was none. My computer crashed overnight after more UPDATES. Oh, and thanks for that by the way. I see these pesky little lawsuits are problematic for you. You have my sympathy and best wishes. For your information, I’m pretty sure we’ll be talking more, very soon…

Surprisingly the valued employee that promised me yet another call back confirmation, must have forgotten to send it.. Unfortunately, since pronouncing his name was not a priority for him and English was a second language wanna-be, I cannot supply you with his identity.. A pity..
Thanks again for the professionalism you people exhibit..

Good morning my friends. I wonder if you guys have had a chance to research the cause of my complete computer crash yesterday morning?? I’m sure your “automatic updates” prior to the crash had nothing at all to do with it. It did however produce the most beautiful blue screen for my enjoyment. The screen contained script similar to hieroglyphics that I’m sure only Bill Gates is smart enough to understand.

Once again, have a really nice day…

your devoted customer…

I asked for all detail of my your actions on each of the case numbers I’ve been assigned since you downloaded my computer with Windows 10. Your email describes these as Details of your interactions with me. They are not. I want every piece of history you have on my cases, all of my cases. That would include the following list in addition to the cases you mentioned below. Please comply.

Mr. Sagar,

Tell me sir, Exactly what will it take to get the records of your involvement with MY COMPUTER. Though I’ve inquired about this issue on several occasions I’ve received no response from you. As you can see the 7-10 response time has come on gone many times over. Mr. Sagar I would have to think that a representative of MICROSOFT CORPORATION, would be, shall we say, less than completely honest with it’s customers. I expect you to do what you said you would do, why has this promise been ignored? I would like a response please.

Needless to say, my friend Mr. Sagar has failed to respond once again. It’ appears that his WORD is pretty much the same as MICROSOFT’S, a waste of time, and air.
