andrewbares Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) Umm, Microsoft just called my house phone about 10 minutes ago, asking for me. Why would they call for me? I haven't had a support conversation with them for a few months now. Is this about the Free TechNet thing that Neowin told us to do?? Anyone else got a call from the big MS?? Edit: Nevermind, they never called me back. Must have been a survey or something. No need to reply to me unless you got some funny Microsoft tech support stories! /thread Edited June 15, 2009 by andrewbares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewbares Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 It's probably to do a survey or something. It better be. I haven't bittorrented anything. Idk, it just seems wierd that they called me out of the blue. They're supposed to call back soon, I wasn't home before. I guess I'll find out soon! HAHA. unless they have tracked you down for being a pirate ;) Nope, never bittorrented anything! Well except for Win7 beta, but then I got the official RC when it came out ;) And as I said above, they're gonna call me back real soon, I wasn't home before.

Lighthalzen Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I got a call from them once to Renew My TechNet Plus thing, which I already did but they called anyway, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redvamp128 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 It could have been a follow up call to a support issue... to see if you were helped. Though at least you didn't get a call from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 They want to know what desktop image you have so they can download it like the neowin post your desktop thread?? Or maybe Bill Gates is going to come and arrest you for Bittorrenting :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewbares Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Welll, they haven't called back yet, and that was 30 minutes ago! Sounds like it was probably a Support follow-up and they didn't care enough to call back. So no one else got a call about the Free TechNet thing, right? It wasn't our faults anyways, it was those bloggers and Neowin authors that told us "OH hey! Free TechNet!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crankenstein.exe Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I wouldn't worry about it... as a matter of fact, you should have answered. maybe they want to sign you up for a survey or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maplecookie Veteran Posted June 14, 2009 Veteran Share Posted June 14, 2009 It might be related to business products if you are listed as the primary buyer for tech products at your company. It might just be a survey though, we get those from time to time. I always freak out also thinking "omg what did we do!?" when I see it on caller ID, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewbares Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Ok, well they never called me back. I was just thinking it might be about the "Free TechNet" thing, and no, I wasn't the one that downloaded 300 keys for Vista, lol. Well I guess it was just a survey. But it would be nice if they invited me over for tea, lol. I guess that's all! /thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmomoman Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Microsoft is calling just to see if you need some software upgrades and try to earn additional software business. It is not about what you might have done wrong. If you did something wrong they wouldn't be calling you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
