Don't buy Windows 8 right away with Paypal.

They should as long as Microsoft cancels the order(s).

Good luck

I won't find out for a little while, though.

I may still buy Windows 8, but I might try to do it over the phone.

Considering all the drama you went through, I think thats your best bet.

Based on your experience, I won't place my order till Monday morning. This way I have all day and all week to deal with any issues that may arise.

Good luck.

Windows 8 is garbage.

Windows 8 is garbage.

It's improved then, has it? It used to be indescribable.

Have the exact same problem. I really thought Microsoft had their phones open longer than 5 pm since I some time ago had a supporter help me personally Saturday night at 10 pm with a Windows activation.

I kinda new that MS would f**k this up, but I guess I wanted to test if I was right. Also the price and the upgrade process seemed very appealing.

so far all I managed to do is void the other two attempts I made.

That helps a little, as now I don't have to worry about any more money getting taken out of my account.

As it turns out, Microsoft won't let you get the $40 or $15 discount prices over the phone
They do say that they support Virtual Visa, just that their server is overloaded.

I should get my money back by Tuesday, and i think I'll try again after that, once the reviews are in.

I hafta ask, have you even tried W8 yet ?
