Microsoft aims to provide high-end premium technical service offering 24/7 support section. Microsoft additionally offers the Answer Desk dedicated its retail places, where you can have a lot other physical services provide like hardware installation, software upgrades and information back-up.

While this service is available only from USA, the non-USA people like me can’t even enter to the original web site rather then it displays a page with the following info:
