ok, i have been living in the neutral to defending camp in regards to Microsoft and it's operations.

..until an hour ago  

as some of you know i'm trying to start a business selling video games online only. i have been searching for as many distributors as i can find to cover all my bases and to provide some security incase one goes out of business for whatever reason. i've found a few of them and one in particular seems very popular and very professional. they won't let me open an account will they!

apparently they signed a deal with Microsoft to only deal with store-front businesses and no new accounts are opened with online only stores.    

not happy at all. why oh why you 4 eyed geek!? ok, i know it's not Bills doing but i'm going to blame him anyway.

 

after a few phone calls spread over the last month and pleading (i'm persistant. or a pest. i don't know. one of them) the distributor did state that it has a contract with Microsoft so they won't offer me an account.

think it's worth reporting it to the competition and consumer dept? i don't but i'm just pissed off enough to do it.
