Toll free number to Microsoft?  Hah!  They've got them for sales, but better
have a deep pocket for tech. support.  

PS:  Anyone ever get a person in less than 45 minutes for Windows support? 
Ever get a correct answer?


Rumor has it that Microsoft will have a 900 number for DOS 5.0 questions.
Either that or they're starting a DOS Love Line....I don't remember for sure.
