The Microsoft Answers community is your best bet for asking questions and getting free help and technical support for your Microsoft products — including Office, Windows, Internet Explorer, Windows Phone, Zune, and Security Essentials.
The product forums on the Microsoft Answers site provide a much simpler user experience than ever before. The site's clean layout and improved search functionality makes it easy for you to ask questions and find specific content that applies to the Microsoft products you use. Also implemented on the site is an improved reputation system, which prominently recognizes the most active and helpful contributors. Users who provide the most helpful tips and answers for others as well as those members who help identify the best and most valuable information on the site are recognized on the home page.
When you first visit a forum for a particular product, you can start by looking over the questions that other visitors have previously posted. Quite often, someone else has already run into something that you're wondering about, and an answer or solution may already be available. Posts in each forum can be filtered and sorted in a variety of ways, such as "Answered," "Unanswered," rated "Most Helpful," and so on. If your question or issue isn't already listed, you can post a specific question in that forum.
The site's nearly half a million daily visitors include prominent members of the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) community, Microsoft Technical Support professionals, Microsoft employees from the various product teams, technical enthusiasts from all over the world, and regular users who enjoy helping their user community by sharing information with others.
If an answer by a particular community member has helped you in the past, you can easily find all other posts by that person to see what else you might be able to learn from them. Likewise, if you find that this person is looking for an answer or solution themselves, you can pay it forward by sharing with them any information and insight that you may have.
Want to give the site a try right now? Here are the shortcuts to the U.S. product forums:
If you live or work in another country, you can change the region selection (located near the top right corner of the home page) before you begin using the site.
At present, free support is available in Chinese, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish.
Tip If you need help with the site itself, view the Frequently Asked Questions.
Social networking has dramatically changed the ways in which we interact with others. Whether you "Like" something on Facebook or you post something on Twitter to tell others about, most people have recognized the benefits of our near-constant connectedness and the way we share beneficial information with each other. The way we help each other find technical solutions and information is evolving, too.
The next time you need assistance or have a question about your software, give the Microsoft Answers a try. It's free, it's fast, and it's the best way to find an expert who can help you out of a bind.
