a weird phone number showed up on my cell phones caller id this morning, so i didn't answer. they left a message and it was some lady from microsoft calling for me. she just wanted me to call them back and didn't say why but knew my full name. what could this be about, i mean do they randomly just call people ? i mean i did sign up and download server 2008 a few months ago, but i've since uninstalled it.

Do a reverse phone number search and see what comes up.....

no my vista is legit / no pirated copy or anything.

didn't know they would contact you even if your copy was pirated ?

all i know is she knew my first name, so i guess it had to be about the server 2008 download ? im not calling back anyways, i hate sales people.

What if she wanted to offer freebies?

If Microsoft is anything like Apple, which we all know they aren't ;), when someone saves a cart on the Apple Store site a rep will call them to see if there is any questions or help required in order to help them through the purchase. I'd bet this is something similar, trying to get your thoughts on the evaluation software you downloaded. :)

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
