So next time I find an issue where for instance a bug in IE results in incorrect rendering, I can just call and I get a bugfix a month later? That is not my experience with MS support. My experience is more along the lines of "that is not a bug, that is a feature". Another famous one is "we can not disclose whether this bug exists because that would open us to litigation". Or how about "it is not a bug but we won't charge you for reporting this and you will have a much better experience with the next version". In my experience (with any software vendor) the only recource the small guy can really rely on is the source code and sufficient skill to fix it yourself.
