Despicable.
Now let's see how long the bean-counters allow them to continue with this welcome policy.
Confusing?
It clearly means ‘No’.
FYI, mate...
Despicable.
Why is it so important to Microsoft that we switch?
I want to pay for it, because I want the right to complain if it doesn’t work.
I want to be able to ask for my money back, and for my old version to be re-installed.
Anything free is worth what you pay for it.
I noticed it when it was about 32% done.
I decided to let it go to see if I liked it. I didn't.
When I went to restore Windows 7, my computer crashed and I lost everything.
I had a friend re-install Windows 7 but I had to repurchase some software downloads because he couldn't restore those.
He also installed a "Never 10" program.
This Windows 10 user says it’s about damned time!
Will never use winspy 10.
If v. 10 is so great, why do they have to trick you into upgrading??
How do you force a very major upgrade onto people's computers without knowing they've got a good, current backup? Why make so many people so frustrated and mad?
Why do you send all keystrokes (including websites) and all file indexes to Microsoft's cloud for “advertising?” How can this all be justified by saying, “You got this free, so shut up and keep taking this rape?”
Microsoft, with our next Windows computer, will no longer be our primary operating system. Linux, OpenBSD, and Apple will be our new primary OSes. Microsoft will be cut down to games and special programs, only. Windows 10 will have the vast majority of the remote websites it communicates with blocked at our router (I realize one or more of the 30+ sites it silently copies information to are required for updates). I will only allow future laptops to leave our home with a validated replacement software firewall that can't be routed around by ignoring of the hosts file exclusions, as the current Windows Firewall in Windows 10 appears to allow without showing what it is doing against any common sense understanding one might have.
Linux Mint with Cinnamon is the first free near full replacement of Windows available. I encourage all neophytes to consider that for your Internet, video/DVD, and Office-type needs.
too little, too late: after over a year of tricking people into installing unwanted W10, suddenly 30 days before the “free offer” runs out and after losing a lawsuit that if turned into a class action that could cost microsoft $10,000/PC, microsoft reverses course and restores the meaning of “no means no”.
These people are scum.
I'm really disappointed. I was hoping this was the introduction to a class action suit against MS.
I still have a Windows 8.1 which was turned into a brick when it upgraded to Win10.
Unfortunately, it is my newest desktop, and although I got it to boot, after a week trying, I have been unable to spend the time backing up all my data (or as much as I can) before attempting a clean Win10 install.
I haven't even thought about my workhorse programs that I must reload. That will be so much fun getting them to load and hoping they still work under the ever changing Win 10.
They think like date rapists. No means NO, you crooks.
Windows took over my wife’s computer a few weeks back. I make her back up everything, so I just erased the hard drive and reinstalled 7 and put everything back on it.
Loaded opensuse 13.2 on her computer so she can do her typing. She kept messing up with LibreOffice, so now I have her using Abiword.
99% of anything I do on a computer I can do on linux. Years ago I started with Mandrake, Red Hat, debian, and got some Suse 8 disks.
Been using Suse ever since. Sorry, I am old and used to KDE and think suse is the best when it comes to the KDE desktop.
I use windows for the family tree programs (they are just easier). But I disconnect from the internet whenever I am on windows. I did download windows 10 on one partition. It looks like a big advertising gimmick.
For what I use windows for, a ‘98 windows would do fine. Still mad that I couldn’t put Word Perfect 6 on XP. Did all my newletters on that.
Don’t need to be plugged in to the internet to play windows games on your computer, and she can play online games on linux.
I have little use for windows.
My computer is running slower than normal. Is it because I refused to download “10”?
Microsoft brings you the latest in Nag-Ware. Nag-Nag-Nag!
I had already decided to stick with Win7 and forego Win10 before reading this thread but it’s absolutely cemented now. I will soon, within a year, be dual booting with Win7 and Ubuntu. Everything I do in windows I can do in Linux so why not. I just have to make sure there’s a driver for my printer available in Linux.
I love the way the dude characterizes it..
A new “upgrade experience”...
Like the eff they didn’t know what the eff was happening when it first rolled out!
My laptop upgraded to win 10 by itself but I gave it a try. It was awful. Fortunately I was able to get it back to 7.x.
