So far as I know their knowledge base complete with downloadable fixes is available 24/7/365.25. AND I have gone to this knowledge base at random times for free. I have never been rejected when I wanted to run a Windows update. I suspect that if I wanted to buy something from Microsoft, they again would be willing to sell it to me 24/7/365.25. Are my impressions wrong?
