I hate Microsoft...

So I spent a couple of hours last night trying to sign into XBOX live for the first time in over a year. I decided to create a new account since I hated my old gamertag and spent the time entering all of the stupid info they need using my damn controller. After that, it tells me, XBOX live is not responding. WTF?! So I back out of everything, lose my settings and check to see if I'm connecting. Yup, things are all looking good. So I go back in there and re-enter all of my information. Still nothing. So I decide, what the hell, I'll just use my old account and reactivate it. No joy. So I call Microsoft and some jackass who doesn't really speak English "tries" to help me out by asking me questions that don't seem to resolve my situation. Then he says he needs to place me on hold to look up some information. After about 20 minutes, the line goes dead. I look at my clock and notice that it's 10PM - quitting time for them. So the fucker put me on hold so he didn't have to deal with me and hung up on me at quitting time. Asshat. I'm going to call back today and see if I can bitch enough to get me something for free. If that doesn't work, I'm buying myself a Mac with my next laptop purchase. I'm sure the one less sale of Windows Vista and Office will really screw them. Fuckers. Hell, I may even opt against getting an XBOX 360 and go with a PS3. Whoa, looks like I'm talking loco now. Better reign it in.

I'm pissed.
