Windows 10: What You Need to Know

[Skybird]

Microsoft pays woman 10,000$ for bringing her system to a crawl due to an unwanted and failed W10 update.

We need hundreds of cases more of this . With 100,000 and even 1,000,000$ per case, so that Microsoft learns the lesson well. In a perfect world, their damages would be so high that they completely eat up any profits they make directly or indirectly with W10.

Looks like there is no end to this war with MS as Get Win10 is back again after the free period!

Income from a criminal enterprise should be entirely confiscated and distributed to the victims.

I expect that the US wouldn't do such a thing, but where the @#$@## is Europe in this? The Union that backed Microsoft down for including a harmless browser in Windows installations is sitting on its hands while Microsoft fleeces its citizens. Britain probably did the right thing to seceed. (We have an old secession flag we can't use any more we'd sell them for a song!) It's not 50 years old and the European Union is rotten to the core already. Entirely lost any sense of obligation to protect its citizens, and that is the first obligation of any state.

We have a big Patch Tuesday coming tomorrow. Now’s a good time to make sure automatic update is turned off.

Afaik the EU was the only "union" that ever did anything against Mickeysoft.

Yeah and good luck alone! If there is any union worldwide to protect its citizens or people beyond national borders and against companies at all, it is the EU!

You remember, this is why the US call us socialist

National corrupt governments have given up their initial task to protect their citizens, or where is the official english or then UK resistance against such perpetration?
Ah it's all the EU's fault, or Obama's. I am sick and tired of this nonsense.

Still having to restart before my bloody Start Menu and email will come on. If I sold someone a car that had to be started twice before the lights and wipers would work, they'd want their money back. I read somewhere that this happens when you download using the 'Get Windows 10' icon, but not if you get it direct. Thanks for that, Microsoft... thanks for nothing.

There is a bad smell in the air yes its the bad smell that just will not go away, KB 3035583 is back!

So I assume after July 29 deadline has expired and people then revert back to there last OS win 7 or 8.1 Microsoft can't nag you to get win 10.

Very short article

The ‘Get Windows 10’ campaign will see its day in court

A class is forming in Florida, suing Microsoft for “Get Windows 10.” But the attorney involved lists his company on Facebook as a Real Estate Lawyer.

The plot thickens.

From one on the comments below the article..

Microsoft is in trouble: NY Attorney General pursuing case about Windows 10 forced upgrades

http://windowsreport.com/microsoft-n...grade-lawsuit/

Too little to late, if this was way back when the nagware started maybe but now just can't see MS paying up if they are found guilty.

Still working just fine for me.

Lawsuits filed in Florida and Israel against Microsoft seek class-action status

The only ones getting rich are the lawyers, that's why they file the suits in the first place.

[Rockin Robbins]

And the remedy isn't lawsuits. It's the saturation of Microsoft with the absence of your money. Don't buy anything from them ever again. That alone will fix the problem.

More forced advertising creeps into Windows 10 Pro

Starting Aug. 2, admins will not be able to keep Microsoft from pushing the likes of Candy Crush Soda Saga onto Win10 Pro PCs on their networks because certain Group Policies will be deactivated

http://www.infoworld.com/article/310...ws-10-pro.html

Now the so called free period is over looks like its time to get their money back.
