Ed Foster points to an interesting policy MS has on getting access to "premium" support:
"I needed to know how to solve a problem we were experiencing in Outlook, so I went to Microsoft for help," wrote the reader. "After drilling down I found what looked like a link to a solution for our problem. Upon clicking on the link a page appeared and said that since the machine I was using did NOT have Office 2003 installed, that content was not available to me. I should go out and buy a new Office suite and upgrade to it and then I could have access."
That's pretty nasty. Never mind whether or not you are current on your support - have you loaded the latest and greatest?
