OneNote Tech Guarantee for OEM?
SeattleSoxFan <jaredstiff[ at ]gmail.com> 2/11/2007 2:06:27 AM
I just purchased (received it about 2 weeks ago) a pretty new Tablet PC which came with OneNote preinstalled. I went to MS's tech guarantee website and tried to register to get the OneNote upgrade. It turns out that they don't upgrade OEM versions on the MS site, but rather they send you to a third party site. This site only allows you to choose between three versions of Office suites (basic, professional, and small biz) -- none of which came on my machine!

Customer service is totally incapable of answering the simple question: is there a tech guarantee upgrade for OneNote? If yes, where and how do I get it?

And while I'm complaining... Why does MS think the consumer cares whether or not the software came in a box or pre-loaded? How can they offer the upgrade for one class of users but apparently not another?

Sales/marketing not talking with the tech folks.
