Why is Microsoft texting me?

I was wondering if there is anyone out there who can provide me with an answer.  I get messages from strange text in the middle of the night.

The sender is 89895.  I don't know when, who or what it is.  The messages are very short, indicating a series of error messages.
They are in order:
The Microsoft 4956307, 7771864, 9772986, 3720391 account security codes.
Can someone tell me what mean these codes?
Thanks in advance.

I doubt it's MS - how they could know your number?  MS does not send unsolicited messages / texts

    Why my instant text messages are going back as NOT DELIVERED sometimes and not others.  I want that all my texts and instant messages to appear on my MAC (Yosemite) messages, my iPhone and my iPad.

    Hello

    Permanent (everyone) that says "Not delivered" on your side means that you are not connected correctly.

    After trying a secure NVRAM Boot and by checking the serial number can be seen, then it is probably a call for assistance from Apple to get it redefined and.

    Mac seems to suffer this up and it can be reset a phone call long extended to get. Ask to speak to someone from level 2 (Apple ID issues are free to set).

    If now and then it's only fair that the other end is not available.

  • Why is Microsoft so lazy? No Service Pack 3 for Vista. No Service Pack 2 for Windows 7, but now don't want to buy Windows 8? No thanks.

    I had to reinstall Vista last night after my computer started to report that there is no bootable devices found. It took most of the day to complete the fresh install. I had to download and install the Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2, which took about an hour each. And then finally, Windows update started downloading another 115 separate updates. Who has 'more' of time to install.

    Why Microsoft does not release a Service Pack 3 for Vista? Or better yet, why do they not release something like "Windows Vista: Final Edition" that you can buy and it just install and done with it.
    Why a company that rakes in billions of dollars in software sales annually manage their software products at the end of life so sloppily?
    Windows 8 is already gone gold and I have heard nothing about when will be released Windows 7 Service Pack 2. It seems that Microsoft always has an eye on the future, but never on the present. Always eager to make new sales but never the support of existing products.
    When a product reaches a number of updates, a Service Pack must certainly be considered. And a final edition that integrates all product Service Packs must be taken into account. It would make life so much easier.

  • Why did Microsoft keep "to abandon" OS and introduce the new OS when they old BONES don't ever work in the first place?

    VISTA seems to be the MOST aggrevating experience.  Then came "Windows 7" and is now at the forefront "Windows 8" when THEY have NEVER ABORDE LES PROBLEMS WITH VISTA AND WINDOWS 7, now they'll introduce Widnows 8.

    Can someone explain to me (with a VALID point) as to WHY Microsoft keeps "to abandon" is the customer base loyalty and introduce NEW operating systems and they never solve the problems that were in the 'old BONES '...

    A Mac can get a virus.  There are too many users stupid that click on stupid things like Windows.  What he does not (but longer) is market share and thus an economic reason to attack him.  But to say that he "' not get virus, sorry, it can and it has too many flaws.  It doesn't just have the ecosystem of the attacks.  If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, it falls really?  If a vulnerability to a Macintosh system don't get coded upward, because there is more targets in the Windows world, this actually means that a Mac can't catch a virus?

    Wait until the Mac have economic objectives and equivalent market share so that they are equal and then we'll come back to this thread and make that call.

    Do you mean the difference between the Windows and Mac operating systems?  As PC does in fact mean personal PC - and Macintosh based computers are PCs.

    The EXACT difference with regard to the operating system is that Mac is based on the core Unix - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Mac_OS_X so that Windows is the C and C++ language based as I understand it.  http://StackOverflow.com/questions/380988/what-programming-language-was-Windows-Vista-programmed-in

    That's like asking what EXACTLY the difference between the German and the French language.  They are different orgins, different codes.

    The current Mac OS was actually bought by Apple because they need a new OS - purchased from Steve Jobs, who had been expelled from the Apple and then begins.

    Both are operating systems that follow the orders given to him by the man, written by humans, who need updates for adding features, and the security fixes for when they are not exactly what they intend to do.

    Hello

    I too hate this pause button. It is for many people who want to play media without having to turn on the machine (well at loading Windows). Turning it off can cause some other headaches later.

    1. this is how Microsoft wants people to buy its full product later.

    2. I think that Office (not Windows) 2007 and 2010 the TWO ribbons of use, not like the old 2003, and I also hate. We are talking about recycling for 40 thousand people here, not just you and me.

    3 good Office starter is a marketing ploy. Misrosoft gives a little HP (and other vendors) in OEM of Windows license fees and other suppliers HAVE to advertise for Microsoft.

    You can remove Office starter if you wish by using the Microsoft.

  • Why the Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 screen Capture will not open?

    I don't really know where to put this so if this is in the wrong section, sorry.
    I installed this program several times (several versions) and whenever I click the link it does not open. Nothing happens. Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 (the editing program) works fine, but the screen capture program wont open. Why?
    It does not open with administrator either. I use Windows 7, btw.

    So after changing back to extended desktop, I could restart the program, so I thought about it, but it would have been nice if she had worked in eyefinity mode. Well.
