I would expect NOTHING less here with this laptop...
I buy Windows and get no support. I took support NOTHING more here with this MS product.

What do you mean normally? Microsoft doesn't normally SELL hardware, so there is no norm to compare here.
They normally sell products and don't bundle support. I keep asking... why do you keep mentioning hardware as if it is a factor?
Well, I guess because I'm an @$$hole and assume that hardware generally comes with at least 1 year of support.

As you said, MS has never, that I know of provided free support with their software - actually, I know that's not true. Windows FPP licenses actually came with 2 support calls back in the day (maybe still do). this was a major differentiator in OEM licenses versus full box product. With OEM, the vendor was required by contact to provide those support calls to the end user.
Why do you assume since MS generally offers no included support on software, that this would apply to hardware?

I didn't say that it didn't. What I said was the fact that it is hardware has nothing to do with it. The inclusion of support for hardware by MS is no different than anything else. Every vendor but MS provides software support when you buy their software. Every vendor provides hardware support. Does MS? Maybe. They say that they do in the screen shot. Has anyone tried to use it? how well do they support all of these Surfaces that are a little younger and not working?

I didn't, I assumed that there was no reason to expect otherwise. The SOLE differentiating factor on which to base a guess is the fact that this is MS who makes a business out of selling products without support. No other vendor, hardware or software, does this on any scale. That it is hardware or software tells us nothing, that it is MS tells us more than anything else.
