Vista Family Discount Bites Back

Many (if not all) users who took advantage of Microsoft’s Vista Family Discount have been issued invalid installation keys and cannot install Windows Vista Home Premium. Microsoft confirms that the keys are indeed valid, but not for Windows Vista. The CSR I spoke with was unable to tell what the key was for, but it did appear to be a valid key, for something.

This should be a good warning to all those people who are planning on taking advantage of this offer. It appears that none of these keys passed out are valid, and the customer service rep has even stated that there is no ETA on a fix. I am sure Microsoft will take care of this… they have to. It’s just a matter of when. Why is it again that the legal customers keep getting screwed?
