I paid good money for a product {Windows 7 Ultimate } that I have been using for a couple of years.
Now all of a sudden my Product Key is not valid or illegal or something. No satisfaction trying to get sense out of Product Support.
But, I have learnt one thing, I will NEVER buy Windows again.
A Mac looks rather good now.

So a couple weeks of lovin my Activated and Validated Win 7 and now I'm informed by a pop-up that my Dell bought Win7 is not Genuine, and have a watermark on my desktop. I used Magical Jellybean and reviewed the key against what's on my COA sticker.. and it's a different key. no big suprise, since it was a dell machine.. So I dutifully plug in the key from my sticker, and I get rejected. Now I have to get on the good old telephone and dick around with pushing buttons. This isn't looking good. Lucky I didn't move my employees to 7 eh?
