Honestly, I love Windows 7. I have had no issues with it, apart from a bad stick of RAM that isn't the OSes fault. It's easy, it works, and it's compatible with about everything. I spend all day trying to fix ****ed up computers -- when I get home I want something easy. Any time I want to play I fire up VirtualBox into any distro I want!

The attitude Apple shows to their consumer drives me crazy. They're like that asshole that thinks you're lucky (s)he is even talking to you. One of the reasons I moved from an iPhone to an Android was this type of attitude. Glad to see even Apples co-founder loves his android based phone (Woz praises Android, blasts iPhone limitations • reghardware).

Good luck TMC. Setup a Windows 7 VM and tell them to do all network related activity through that.

(Before people go crazy, I understand that wouldn't work -- just being an ass.)

This was my experience with my last support call. It was kind of like a *shrug* "Sucks to be you." I got elevated to tier 3 (maybe tier 10 for all I know) and they were like, "Your problem."

I pointed out the forum and they were like, "Well you guys have a different issue."

In the end, we're adding some more DNS entries in hopes that it'll keep the connection alive. One thing we're considering is increasing the beacon interval, BUT that's going to affect the PC users.
