So I call this number, and after five minutes of sitting through IVR
menus, I finally reach a live human.  She asks for my name and phone
number, and as soon as I mention that I am reporting a bug in Internet
Explorer, says she will transfer my call.

At that point I get fifteen seconds of music on hold, followed by dead
air.  That was a half hour ago.



according to http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,1210067,00.asp
"Magic Number: 30 Billion" "Gates said that 5 percent of Windows machines 
crash, on average, twice daily. ..... 24.5 million reports a day accumulate
in Redmond -- nearly 9 billion per year."

imagine you have 9 billion *free* crash reports -- will you be interested in
chatting about bugs on the phone?

which reminds me of the joke about the gynecologist after a hard day work and
the woman offering him to show him some parts of her body for a few bucks.
