I booted up my computer and it informed me that I was running an illegal version or something of that nature and needed to call MS. I had made no changes in my system for several months at that point. Fortunately this did not occur during a critical business time. I called MS and got response very quickly without the usual VMS b-s all companies use now that prevents you from reaching a person. Not only that the person on the other end of the line spoke english very well.

We resolved the problem with only 4 telephone calls and in less than 2 hours I was back up and running OK. Note that this was after 10 PM EST.

I'm glad it happened when it did and without iuncident to business, otherwise I'd be running to convert the company to Linux. Considering that anyway due to the exclusive nature of MS products and the registration requirements.
