I've had these guys loads of times.<p>"We're from Windows"<p>Pretending you are partially deaf and old keeps them on the line a while. 6 minutes is my record so far :)

Sometimes they're literally not allowed to hang up. You could just set the phone down and leave it for a few minutes.

I did this:<p>* Ignored the caller's pressure and sense of urgency.<p>* Repeated every phrase she told me with a question mark added: "My computer is slow, eh?"<p>* Every time she said "Yes", I asked my own question: "What department do you say you work for?", "Who is your manager?", "What number should I call if I need more help from you?"<p>I never let her lead, never said Yes or No and never acted like an a<i></i>hole. I was nice and calm. In five questions she got very nervous and hung up.

My dad was unlucky enough to be a victim of these guys. I was surprised, being a lawyer for so many decades, that he didn't realize that no one at Microsoft is that nice as to give you a call because your machine is slow.<p>Common sense people!
