Need info about HP's upgrade for MediaCenter PC's!
Hi,
I was hoping to upgrade to Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005! Anyone knows where I can get an upgrade CD for my m380n? I was deployed in Iraq and I missed the upgrade offered by HP! I talked to them on the phone today and the ****ers refused to honor the upgrade. I am not mad cause I know it is just business and has nothing to do with fighting a war or patriotisms but I'd hoped that they would take that into consideration! It's just ****ed up because I can't even buy it! If anyone can help or offer any suggestion please do! I will even buy it if you have it and willing to make me a copy! Thanks again and God Bless! Max |

Did you talk to the sales people or the support people. IF you try sales ask
to speak to a spvr. and try to explain your concern. IMO they are better in sales than support. Good luck. "MM" wrote in message ...

Thanks Larry,
I took your advice and called sales! I just got off the phone with them and it is like talking to a wall, no consideration whatsoever! The sad thing is that I've been a loyal customer of HP for over 10 years! That is beside the fact that I was overseas fighting a war so that these ****ers can stay in business and make all this money! "Larry Mauriello" wrote in message news:6ZOQe.4092$Ni1.1706@trndny03...

Yea, well I have owned a HP pc only for 4 mos. and found them to be moron's.
FWIW you might try, as a last resort, writting to the CEO as well as the PC Mags. I find a lot of times the mags. *bad press* works. Your comment of being at war uneffecting them doesn't really surprise me. As I said most of HP's tels. go to India. Oh well. Maybe you'll find what you need someplace. Maybe Ebay? Or maybe do a Google search? Good luck "MM" wrote in message ... Thanks Larry, I took your advice and called sales!
