consumerist.com writes about a customer who got charged for his Windows Vista Upgrade for $1,632!

Apparently, Bill, an IT Manager, used the Windows Live Marketplace to purchase the Windows Vista Ultimate upgrade worth $233.15. But each time he tried to enter his payment information, he got the error “please try again” later. And so he did. Unluckily, Bill got charged each time he tried to enter the payment details, which he did 7 times!

Again, that is $233.15 * 7 = $1,632.05. Totally a rip-off!

Bill tried to contact Microsoft support again and again and again to get his money back but only four of the transactions were returned. The remaining three transactions are yet to be refunded.
