Tech support fun:

Me: (standard greeting)
Her: Let me put you on hold.
(time passes)
(she comes back, explains problem)
Me: What operating system are you using?
Her: Like NT? 2000?
Me: Well, NT, 2000, 98, 95...
Her: Oh. It's Windows NT 2000.
Me: (so not in the mood for this) Is it NT or 2000?
Her: NT, so I guess Windows 95 then.

You: Ok, you know that bar across the bottom of the screen? Ok, left-click the button on the lefthand side of that bar labeled "start". Ok, now turn your head to the left and read what it says on the menu that popped up. Does it say Windows 2000? Windows NT?

cept that doesn't work in XP's default settings.

Well if they say there's nothing there, then you know it's XP.

If you adjust it for small text and icons on the start menu, it also shows nothing regardless of the OS... so you still can't be sure it's XP...

Usually they'd say nothing was there. Then I would connect to their computer and show them that there was. People are so blind.
