Microsoft Reveals ''Where's the 'Any' Key?'' Website
Where's the 'Any' key?
If you're reading Tom's Hardware you've probably had to do over-the-phone tech support for a family member or friend at least once before. If you're smart, you did it once and have been using caller ID to avoid helping people ever since. However, if you're just too kind to let your mum, dad, aunt, uncle or grandma suffer through their computer problems alone, you likely have a lot of great stories about the various different 'problems' they've encountered.
Microsoft knows how you feel; the company has launched a "Where's the 'Any' key?" website, which gives people like us the chance to vent and share our stories. Each week a winner is chosen (via voting from visitors to the site) and he or she receives a $100 gift card for the Microsoft store. Runners up receive a $30 gift card and Microsoft says the 'star prize' is a Sony Vaio X laptop. Each week the winning story is turned into a comic and displayed on the front page. If your story wins, you'll also receive a framed copy of the comic.

Thank you homer simpson!!
Best think I ever did for all those who ask me for help is to install a remote desktop program (such as RealVNC, TeamViewer etc). Hassle free support!!! When giving support to family members I used to get extra extra angry, but not any more :-)

This joke is far older than that stinking heap of crap.
Shame the site is just full of old Clichés
Eh? MS need to do some catching up on their pop culture I see. This is as old as the hills.
