Just upgraded from XP Pro to Vista Home Premium (stupid me!). Activation
screens say my product key is invalid or already in use. So I called customer
support.
CALL 1; "read MS help KB931276". Followed carefully, won't activate.
CALL 2; Results= you need to call 866-740-1256.
CALL 3; Results= you need to call 888-346-5229.
CALL 4: Results= rings indefinately, nobody answers.
For this I paid $140? What a scam Microsoft is running! Selling junk for top
dollar and playing pass the buck when people want the support they paid top $
for.
CAN ANYBODY TELL ME HOW TO GET THIS PIG ACTIVATED?

Windows Vista Home is not a supported upgrade path over
an existing Windows XP Professional installation. You would
need either Windows Vista Ultimate or Business Edition in
order to upgrade over Windows XP Professional to ensure
successful product activation.
