I called Microsoft and to say the stupid indian woman was not helpful is an uunderstatement.
I said I had an OEM version of Vista that I wanted to install it but my motherboard may be faulty and that I wanted to know it would ok if I activated it then changed my motherboard.
She told me it was not out yet and it was a "mislicenced" and that I could not install it and they would not help me, and then she asked for my name and number and information about where I got it from.
She said it was only available with a new PC and I said I bought it with my motherboard and that the license says thats ok, and I am a lawyer and know better than her - which she denied - which always ****** me off to another level when some woman who has done no legal training thinks she knows better than me!
Naturally when she asked for my information I hung up as all I would have done is made sure they would not let me activate it ever.
This leads me to think it is best to not install it until I have sorted out my mobo problem but its very concerning that they would be that unhelpful.
A word of warning - and to say Im feeling really irritated is an understatement now.
- and I can't actually fit my own mobo I would have no idea where everything fits or believe me I would get one ordered and fit it myself-
