I did my laptop last night . . . it was probably me. What did I win?

Why, exactly, is this news?

I, for one, consider Microsoft to be the Yugo of OSs and will NEVAH be shamed by having their Obamacare in my house.

I use my computer to transcribe, surf the Internet, download audio and email. That’s about it. Do I need Windows 10? I so don’t like it when layouts and familiar things change just because it’s a new version.

Does that include every MSFT employee that is told to reinstall windows 10 every night when they get home?

If it says it’s free, it isn’t.

Installed 120 million times.... by just 2 dozen people trying to get it to work right?

Finally got Win10 installed on an extra Win7 hard drive.

Not impressed. They removed the ‘classic’ theme and the standard one looks like crap. Toolbars fade into the windows, slidebars are nearly invisible and too narrow, window box lines are too narrow.

Switched out to my other hard drive with Win 7. It was refreshing to see a screen and windows that are usable.

Windows 10 was, like 8, made for glitz and glitter, not productivity. They can take their tiles and ...

Installed it on one computer and lost my security software. I then had to buy new software that would work with Win 10. I won’t upgrade the other computers for as long as possible.

Nothing personal (and I know, you didn't ping me to do so), but I'm gonna resist waking up the Windows Ping List every time MS racks up another 1% of its intended 1Bn installs. I caught hell for doing it at 110 million, and learned my lesson. :-)

Maybe at 250 million -- quarter way to the goal. Definitely at halfway. Until then, it just feels like trolling for anti-Windows sarcasm.

If you’re giving away most of the copies, that isn’t that hot a trick, just like AOL memberships.

It makes me suspicious as hell when they are so hell-bent on getting Windows 10 on everyone’s PCs. I suspect there’s either more spyware or more anti-piracy code or both so our federal masters are pleased.

I bought a back-up licensed copy on Windows 7 because I suspect that’s the “good OS” Microsoft wants to get off the market.
