Has anyone had Microsoft call them to renew their subscription?

They called me OVER AND OVER AND OVER again, until I finally answered them and got an answer, and told them that if I wanted to renew, I would f*cking call them. Never heard from them again, and my keys still work

I got a call from them, just one polite conversation. They didn't have any really good offers, so I said it wasn't worth renewing until they released the next Windows or something.

They always hung up after I picked up. By the time I actually got somebody on the other end of the line, it had been the 14th call in 3 days. Hence the less polite response.

Was it Germany that called you? I've only ever had excellent customer service from them.

I'm in the US, so I doubt Germany would call me...

What sort of accent did they have when they called you then?

They call me daily, and I don't answer...it's kind of a little game now
![]() It's a California area code and the message is always from a nice lady w/ no accent. Maybe they're smart enough *not* to outsource their renewal calls? |

Same here......MS also has this service outsourced overseas. I was hesitant at first and then I Google'd the name of the company and it came up as legit and affiliated with MS

I don't know if all of the subscribers have checked lately, but the new Windows Home Server 2011 is now available for download.

I was looking for Visual Basic and found out that MS has a free version, so I got that. But in the process, I wondered if I could get Visual Studio as part of my technet subscription. It doesn't seem to be listed anywhere for either the standard or professional subscription levels.
Is this right or did I miss something. If it is right, what other products does MS exclude from the technet subscriptions. I'm really curious. I think it's strange because VS doesn't really cost that much more that it wouldn't be included just based on price. And if they exclude that, what else am I missing? |

There's no Microsoft Expression Stuio fr instance. Kind of a letdown to me (if that was included I would probably have a sub now), bur you're not supposed to do real development with a Technet sub and a web design tool is probably nothing but that..

Thanks guys. Yeah, I went into the VS dl section and looked at the subscription requirements. It looks like you only get it if you already have some version of VS or some other special products I don't recognize.
Honestly though, VB 2010 Express should be more than adequate, and from a quick look at the licensing agreement, it seems that you can redistribute some components if you develop something. I had used an early version of VB (3 or 4 I think) and I liked it, but I probably did more actual coding with Crystal Reports. That was a long time ago though so I'm going through a really nice tutorial on VB now. It's on another rig at the moment and I haven't sync'd bookmarks yet so I don't have it right now (plus I'm on Chrome at the moment). |

After letting my subscription expire months ago, MS contacted me out of the blue with a new offer, so I rejoined with a standard subscription.

Did you get a new set of keys? If yes, how many? I got 10, but MS has lowered these to just 5 now, so I'm wondering if they're still doing that?

Technet rules change
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/s.../jj215854.aspx
From what I am reading, once your subscription expires, if you do not renew your subscription, you may not use, and must destroy all copies of your Microsoft software obtained through Technet.
