Windows 10 sufferers rejoice . . . chortle, chortle.

Post by Grumpus »

Over the past couple of months we've all seen the debacle which is Windows 10.
Early this morning, watching the news a ticker tape style blurb across the bottom of the screen caught my attention.
Ya gotta love this woman as most states have avenues of redress like hers and it might make sense for MS to change some of the more egregious policies they've arrogantly enacted.

Great to see, Grumps.
I hope others see the report & form a very long queue to their local court house
& sue the pants off MS.

Maybe if enough people go through with this MS might change it's policies. <------delusional statement No. 12375
Most of this has to come from some marketing genius who has no operational oversight and little or no business sense.
Trying to extort users through proprietary hostage taking can only hurt, not only MS but the tech industry as a whole.

It's about time!
KUDOS to the woman for doing that.
And 100% agree that more people should be going ahead with suit against MS.
Am pretty sure that this has happened to many other people too.
I've disabled the update on one of my home computers that has Windows on it.
have Windows 7 on and Windows 7 is supported until 2020.
Can't help but wonder if Microsoft or Windows will still be around at that time. ;)

Something in all this may have struck a chord?
The X now means stop the upgrade
I get the feeling MS is operating on the, "Don't ask and get a NO, just do it and maybe no one will notice" principle. [-X
