I'm going to hell

so i work the phones in an unnamed company working for an unnamed computer retailer. I received a 3-way call from Microsoft involving one of our customers. Apparently doing a "parallel install" of XP leaves the computer in a state with no drivers or applications. Good game Microsoft! So I get the customer set on doing the express (30 minute) install of the drivers and applications from the restoration CD and left the customer on the line with MS. I figure they're getting paid by th minute, so they won't mind babysitting. What really got me was that I actually said this--> "OK maam, I am now going to leave you in the trusting hands of Microsoft." At that moment I hung ap and felt this eerie chill sweep over my body. I think lucifer also popped up behind me, put a check mark on a list and poofed away.

What exactly is a parallel install?

Isn't that like, when you use like a really old printer/scanner/camera that only uses parallel cables?

parallel install... I think they reinstalled xp over itself. or worse yet (which I think they did) install xp for a second time on the sam partition so that you have 2 OSes to choose from at boot time. So basically the tech hosed her PC. Gotta love india support.
