You know – it just ain’t funny anymore…

February 10, 2008 by Wayne Small Leave a Comment

I blogged earlier today (Questions about Australia) about some funny things that people ask about Australia. Then I had the need to ask Microsoft for a hotfix via the web interface they have. Here’s the response I got below….

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Customer Service.

I understand from your message that you would like to obtain hotfix from Microsoft.

I am unable to locate the hotfix mentioned in KB article 934396 for the product you have specified.

From the information you have provided in your message, I understand that you are located in Australia. There are significant programming differences between North American versions of Microsoft products and those localized for your country.

You will be best assisted by the Microsoft subsidiary that specializes in your version of Microsoft product. You can reach them at 13 20 58 or by visiting: http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide/phone/contact.aspx?country=Australia.

I hope the issue is resolved soon and appreciate your patience in this regard.

Thank you,

Ronald

Microsoft Customer Service Representative
