[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Microsoft System Card follow-up

etk@philabs.Philips.Com (Ed Keegan) (02/03/88)

Microsoft has taken a lot of flack lately for their insensitivity
related to product support. While I cannot directly comment on the
problems related to MSC 5.0, I recently had the following experience.

About a week ago I posted a request to the net for information on the
Microsoft Systems Card. Within a few days I received, from Microsoft,
an E-mail response followed by documentation via US mail a few days later. 


      T H A N K S    M I C R O S O F T !

      and especially Lee Fisher.

The complaints with MicroSoft have been with regard to product support
and upgrades.  Nobody's ever claimed that they didn't go out of
their way to sell you a new product.
