A Message to Microsoft.

Dear Microsoft.
Thanks so much for managing to screw me over so much this year.
First, my hotmail account. I never had any problems with hotmail, that was until my account was hacked. I checked their help center describing what to do in case of just such a situation. The entire article was: 1. change your password, 2. install anti-virus software on your computer. Well, option two is useless because I'm on a mac and macs don't get viruses. Well, despite option one the people who hacked in managed to just get in once again. Fine. I already migrated all of my emails over to my new Gmail account. Time to delete my entire Microsoft Live account... Unfortunately I can't delete my Live account because it tells me I need to close my Hotmail account first. However, every time I close my hotmail account it logs me out of Windows Live. So when I log back in to close the live account IT REACTIVATES THE FUCKING HOTMAIL ACCOUNT! There's not even a phone number to call tech support and have them do it for me...
Then there's my XBox. Or rather XBoxes... My first console shit the bed on me earlier this year. Because it was a console I got off of Ebay there was no way to send it in to get it fixed. So after unsuccessfully attempting to fix it myself I broke down and get another console. Well after a few months of use the sound from my HDMI port ceases to work. Me and Ang had only really been using the Xbox for Netflix, but I enjoyed watching stuff in HD, vs the standard def I could get on the Wii. Sure enough, after two weeks waiting to get it fixed I get it back. Guess what? Because I thought I'd be better off spending the $10 a month I used to spend on my Live Gold membership on web hosting for myself I CAN NO LONGER USE NETFLIX! Apparently you NEED a gold membership to use Netflix. WHAT?! I need to pay ON TOP of my Netflix account just for the privilege of using Netflix? Something COMPLETELY FREE ON THE WII.
This is why I will never buy another PC, or Microsoft product. I'm even hesitant to run Windows as a virtual machine on my macbook for web testing.
Fuck you Microsoft. And Mr. Gates, if we ever meet in person, I promise to straight up murder your ass. >:(
