    Posting here does increase awareness but typically Microsoft will do what it does best - nothing much.

    We are its 'willing' guinea pigs when it comes to testing their software and until an issue becomes huge they don't show interest as we have paid and are still paying for their broken software.

    Should I/we go over to Apple or something else - who knows.... but some will

    Pretty shocking when you consider we pay for this service.

    I updated from a student acc (not a student) but thats all I wanted, went to the full Micro and get nothing in the way of service, but if I do not continue, I loose everything as the Student issue gets deleted upon installation of M 365

    Very good reply.

    WE have a Telco in Australia called Telstra, you can wait 3 days just to get access to speak to a person, then no resolution. They have the worst record of service complaints in Australia, one would think they would want to rectify this, but most people simply contact the Ombudsman to get a resolution. Customer service is word companies know nothing about and care less about implementation.

    The policy for most companies is "If you don't like it go elsewhere"

    I would ensure that every customer was dealt with quickly and professionally, and would feel proud of my companies reputation in this regard.

    I am happy to work for Microsoft and show them how its done. NO CHARGE, just fix this error that you have created in exchange

    If they do, let the community know and you'll be inundated with customers......
