    All Apple products are top of the line in my opinion. I have two iPads and use them most of the time so I just purchased a Dell laptop. The old Dell lasted 8 years! The Apple MacBooks are quite a lot of money for what I need.

    Old fashioned selling had at its heart a desire to please the customer and win further business down the track. These days it is an unknown issue. Pay your money and next customer please. At 74 you get used to being invisible to staff in shops. My last computer was sold to me, without all I needed or made any attempt to find out what I wanted and needed.

    When I contacted Microsoft on the issue previously discussed via their page, as soon as I informed them about the issue, I was pushed on up the line.

    Microsoft is big enough to have a section only for Senior customers to assist them. I rarely need help, but have to look at their fact pages that rarely have what I need.

    Thinking of getting an Apple computer, heard good reports about them and their service

    I just purchased a new laptop a few weeks ago and all they do is try to sell me things. Of course they should have advised us of this issue and taken care of it by now. Earlier today I had updates and thought it would be fixed then but alas it was not. Customer service is at all time low in the marketplace.

    Well its good news, BUT I would have thought an email to all subscribers saying that a fault has been identified, a solution should be available within X weeks after extensive testing.

    This would show that we are valued as customers, and we have an organisation that updates their clients, because they are valuable, which we are. Just leaving a known issue that causes anxiety to so many with no assistance or even acknowledgement of it is poor service. Microsoft could better I am sure. Engage with your client base would be a good start.
