I easily found their number on the MS Website, was talking to a live, truly English-speaking individual within a minute, and a tech within 3 minutes. They said they'd charge me $35 NO MATTER HOW LONG THE SOLUTION TOOK, and REFUND the $35 if they couldn't solve it.
Two-plus hours and a repair-reinstall of XP later, the problem wasn't solved. Tonight, in less than five minutes, got the credit to my charge card.
Sure, I wish they'd solved it. (We'll see what DSI finds.) But color me impressed by the "big evil" M$;-)
