Free support for Vista SP1 installs
Of course.
Vista users encountering problems when they upgrade
to Service Pack 1 can breathe easier: the company is giving away free support
for those installing the service
pack.
The transition to the service pack has not been problem-free for many users, some of whom have seen their computers fall into endless reboot cycles and struggled with broken applications after installing the upgrade.
Normally, only Windows Vista users who bought the retail product would be eligible for free support but, for SP1 installation, even users with an original-equipment-manufacturer copy of Vista on their computer can get Microsoft’s help, according to the official Vista blog.
Microsoft can afford it.
Of course, they can afford enough programmers to get it right - you'd think.
