The fuckheads at Symantec are going up against the god damned wall so fast they won't know what happened until after they've been shot.
I have this nifty little box from Network Appliance. It can haz lotz of dryve spayce! As of right now, I can't back it up. See, I bought a license for my Netbackup server for the Network Appliance module, right as Symantec was fucking Veritas up in every way they could manage.
My license key? Doesn't work with Symantec's system, since it doesn't recognize that Veritas existed prior to acquisition, and hey, why the fuck would existing customers matter? Just getting those fucks to get me a serial number that their web site would acknowledge was valid was a six month ordeal. Now, I just need the actual bits. You know, the software. The software that their serial number is invalid for, according to their fucking portal, so I can't download it (not that it would run, even if it would let me, since it claims my serial number doesn't do what it's supposed to apparently).
I fucking swear, as much as I despise Legato (me and Legato have had a hate hate relationship since their malicious excuse for a backup system ate its index at least once every tape cycle back when I was at NASA, and rebuilding that index took for fucking ever, thanks to the 4 tape libraries each holding several hundred tapes it was supposed to be managing), I'm so ready to call them and ask how much they'll charge to fuck me, since as of right now, it'll hurt less that what Symantec is doing.
I just got off the phone with yet another clueless fucking monkey who still doesn't understand what I want. Gee, Network Appliance and EMC are the two largest storage vendors on the whole fucking planet, and yet, it seems that no one at Symantec know who they are.
