Believe it or not I've had good luck with both Verizon and M/S tech
service from India.

Gave both on line access to puter to resolve problems.

Neither one of those guys were robots, they definitely had their act
together.

They took control, made changes, and solved problem(s).

It was a pleasure.

Well, generally I am satisfied with Verizon support. Better if you don't
need it, but it is OK.

I am NOT satisfied with MS support, at least in my latest endeavor. I
had wanted to follow the advice to install SP1 for Vista Home Basic on
this cheap laptop (Acer), but despite hours and hours and hours, no go.
So I have given up installing SP1. Of course, now I will have to wait
and see whether I can still get all other hotfixes etc. So far, so good.

Of course, that is no real reflection on Support, but on MS design of the
SP1 update, since it is unable to tell me what to do to fix whatever
issue(s) SP1 is having with my 'puter. Unfortunately, the MVPs on the MS
newsgroup are only able to refer to websites outlining what should be
done to prep for SP1, with none of that being helpful so far. Eventually
I might spring for a basic install DVD from Acer, but then my laptop is
getting expensive, not cheap.
