Weird.


No, no. I am sure it would have activated online had I typed in those long
digits. I was so frustrated and new I had new hardware coming that I decided
to call instead. Obiviously typing would have been faster, and next time

Since you are not paying for the telephone call (to an 800
number), then make it as often as you like. Microsoft has to
pay for these calls. It is your privilege to do so.
