IF the #$% store would work. I've spent the last 3
days trying to buy this program, but the "security" at the MS Store sounds like a classic Microsoft joke. I kept getting meaningless "credit card" errors, requesting I re-enter info. After a few tries, I called Microsoft (I knew the card was good b/c I just used it at a store). They told me I had to call my bank. My bank assured me the charges had been authorized, and made a point of lifting ANY security blocks. MS store STILL wouldn't accept the charge. The second time I spoke to someone he suggested using another card; used the bank debit card (which I hate to do) and still nothing. Today spoke to the "credit protection team" (Microsoft is like Soviet Russia -- everything means the opposite of what it really is) - they said the problem is that other people share this address. No duh. It's an office suite. There are probably 30 or so small businesses here. Well, now that you've gotten clearance from the bank and my confirmation of the address, you can just manually override it and let me download a $50 piece of software, right? Nope. This is Microsoft. No one can over ride the system. No one can change anything. The best they can offer is to "clear out all the old orders" and let me try again. Again, it's like a bad Microsoft joke. Crappy software that doesn't work right, and NO way for actual humans to override or fix it. And since it means I'd have to pay $50 more, I don't really WANT to go buy it somewhere else (as the "friendly" supervisor told me on the phone). How is it legal to refuse to sell to somebody because of their address?

attempts had been approved). Again - bank said company should do a manual authorization - but Microsoft said no. I didn't have the problem as same address because it is my home. However, they did offer to send me the program directly and got approval for free shipping. You may want to ask for that. I asked if there had been other people with the same problem and was told not many. :-) doubt if that is true.......
