So Walmart is supposed to provide support on all the software that they sell?

Microsoft provides the same support no matter where you purchased the software, as long as you have a legal copy. You have to read the fine print on how to get support and how much it may cost you, but the support is there and is the same. Microsoft may suggest that you call Dell or Gateway since you paid for support through them, but Microsoft will be more than happy to take your money for a support call.
