And the week just keeps getting better...well no, not really
Turns out that Microsoft don' know nuthin about being able to downgrade your operating system.
Toshiba does -- but if you machine turns out to have Windows 8 standard on it, and not Windows 8 Pro, you're not allowed to downgrade your machine. You must pay for the upgrade first, or you must pay for Windows 7. Why was this "guarantee" part of the software agreement I had to click through to originally boot the machine? Why do I not have the WIN 8 Pro I thought I bought?
Mysteries of the universe.
There are 45 drivers listed for the S955 laptop. Nowhere do I see that they will work with WIN 7 on this machine.
I'm guessing that I continue to be #$%^#@ over on this purchase.
Oh -- the nice young woman at Costco Concierge says that the keys wearing off is a manufacturer's defect, and I can send my machine back into have the keyboard replaced.
Yeah -- like I'm going to risk having a computer that works, however poorly, re-enter the factory and have the keys pried off because of the key alphanumerics wearing off in four months? And will we do this again in another four months?
I got news for them -- I'm getting glow in the dark keyboard stickers. WIN!
