&lt;p&gt;You'd think that if you ordered a TechNet Plus subscription with a credit card on Microsoft's TechNet Subscription ordering site you'd get at least same day service. They are using Microsoft software for data collection and securing payment aren't they?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well even though I paid with a credit card, even though it's been 2 business days since I placed the order, even though I called a TechNet representative to inquire about my order, (for which I have not even got a confirmation email about my purchase), I am told that it may take a week or more for my order to make it's why through &amp;quot; Several database servers&amp;quot; , till I get my TechNet Plus subscription!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am ready to call back and cancel the &amp;quot;order&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was going to test several Microsoft solutions for one of my clients this weekend, but now will research a Linux solution instead.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I've had it with a company that pulls downloads for oem builders like me (I was 99% done with oem sp1 for vista when they pulled the plug) and can't even process a simple TechNet Plus order in a timely manner.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think that 70% of my customers could easily go to a linux solution at this point in time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who will be advising them? Why their consultant ME!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I'm JUST a small consulting business dealing with 30 or less computers per site, why should Microsoft care about me? or should they be?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;George&lt;/p&gt;
