Dana's Animated Mind

Can someone please explain to me this one. Why people go out and buy Vista machines when there are machines that have XP, and try to turn the Vista into XP machines? Then yell at Technical Support when it doesn't quite work?

"I can't do this, I can't do that!" seems to be the logic, but a smart buyer would've found out if there were programs they critically use before they bought the machine. Oh..yea, they like to throw in "I paid X amount of dollars."

For the love of holy, why do I care? It's annoying because they still expect us to support the machine even though it is not in factory state. That's kind of like opening a CD player and adding on modification then faulting the company if it breaks down.

The best one? When people do these swaps without asking Technical Support. We know which machines have NO XP drivers availiable. So when we inform them of such, they go on and on about how they have a paperweight like it is my fault. I kind of like to go "Sir, if you contacted us, not only would we tell you we wouldn't support it but we would of also told you there were no drivers." Unfortunately..I can't.

The only pleasure I find in life anymore is animating because customers drive me insane. Well, not for a week. I will be going on vacation and not dealing with those customers. WOOT!
