Point taken, but I didn't say anything on list until someone else mentioned that it was on topic. I would never respond to a message like Ed's to just say that something was off topic. I only stepped in when I was worried that someone was promoting the notion that anything to do with Macs was on topic for this list. If my message clarifies what is and is not on topic for the list then it will cut down on list traffic.

Fair point. I'll drop it after this, but suffice to say it is just as unproductive to send a message only to affirm an opinion that something is off topic since you are only contributing to that thread. In an attempt to try to bring it back to some kind of relevance, I'll only point out that Microsoft's support is free and not based on the length of a warranty. We pay good money for our Mac products, and if we do happen to run Windows on it, it's one way to save a little cash when and if we run into trouble.

I appreciate the information, but I don't think it's on topic for an iPhone mailing list. this isn't a mailing list for Macs or all things Apple. I also don't think it's on topic just because you can run iTunes on Windows. I know no one has stated this yet, but I've seen people make some pretty complicated relationships to basically defeat any effort to keep a list on topic.

This is just my opinion, and the real opinion that counts is that of the moderator and owner of this list.

    I've also tried it, and although they were not able to fix my
    issue, they spent almost an hour trying. It would seem on topic
    considering it's possible to run Windows on Macs.

    Hi Group.

    I know this is a little off topic but I think it very important
for people using Microsoft products and assistive technology. Microsoft has a free service that you can call and they will fix
    any issues on your pc over the internet for people using assistive
    technology.  I called them three different time and had my old lap
    top fix and also my Win seven pc.  I had Outlook 2010 fix and
    other issues.   Check this link out below which is a Microsoft web
    page.  I know this sounds like it cannot be true but it is. They
    started this service in January of this year.  Also remember this
    is totally  a free service.
