Microsoft: HP promo won't be restarted
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft said that it, in fact, won't be able to restart a Black Friday promotion with HP.com that many were unable to take advantage of because of glitches with the Live Search Cashback program.
In a blog posting on Friday, Microsoft said that, although it is working to give those who ordered products their promised 40 percent discount, those who were not able to place an order are, essentially, out of luck.
"There have been lots of questions on whether the 40 percent off HP promotion on Black Friday will be restarted," Microsoft said in the posting. "While we were hoping to be able to do that, we are sorry to report that it will not be restarted."
