indeed I do. Took me 7 times of reading out my Windows 8 key phonetically for her to even get the key from me because her spoken english is about as clear as my toilet pan after having a dump after a night of guiness and curry.

OMFG

I'm on the phone to Microsoft "support" Team.

My retail key for Windows 8 that I purchased has been blocked because I have activated it 10 times in total. They wont re-instate it, even though I have the proof of the purchase and they have told me I must buy a new key.

Even though my current key is a retail key they will not allow me to use it ever again.

To make matters worse I'm on hold and I've asked to speak to a supervisor and the person I was talking to said "oh your from the UK, you have called us and an international call is expensive, so I suggest we end the call and you accept this"

The funny thing is that Microsoft called me, from 0018006427676 as I requested a call back on their live chat system which timed out as it was too busy today.

I'm still holding.

Thats an absolute disgrace.. I have never known that to be the case for any OS. Maybe some games using secrurom, but just contact the dev and it gets reset..

I would be all over twitter and facebook about this.

I'm glad that I have this call recorded. I feel a youtube upload could be good for me to do on this call.

I'm trying to get it clarified about changing hardware in the future or if the hardware breaks.

Update me on this, I have an old MB and will be changing once Skylake is out, if this buggers me I'm gonna be angry. :mad:

Guys..

Just remember and go to
Control Panel - System- Advanced System - Hardware - Device Installation Properties

and turn off the Always install drivers through updates.
