Windows 10 upgrade woes sends woman to Microsoft offices for help

Right because their "free" helpline really helps consumers when their upgrade or rollback failed. Sadly laws don't make software companies accountable for anything if something goes wrong, so MS will continue to get away with it unless people scream outrage - which they won't because most people are lazy.

Sorry Jim, this is not really newsworthy.

Those of us in IT know just how bad this fiasco really is, the way MS forces and tricks users into upgrading to win10. I personally have witnessed a user being prompted to upgrade, they decline, and then windows says "Okay, upgrading". MS is a piece of crap, infiltrating our property and making unwanted changes to our property and turning it in to a spying machine gathering everything we type and every word we say that the microphone can pick up so that they can sell this information to 3rd parties. edited by ddp Microsoft for being a bunch of edited by ddp thieves. They accuse Google of scroogling us (which is true, the edited by ddp) while they just blatantly sodomize us as we are screaming "NO". And as we are sitting there in pain trying to recover from said sodomy, they add insult to injury by forcing us to relive the event every time we turn our computers on, with a little reminder of their crime, a notification to "Get Raped" even though they have already raped us over and over, possibly giving us tetanus with their rusty trombone trick, and then leaving us to wake up the next day with a bad taste in our mouth as they finished with a dirty sanchez just to make sure we remember the event. And now, I visit one porn site and I get an email for Viagra (how'd they know) and another for some "lonely girl" that wants to date. Well, imagine how many emails one would get from my type of curious browsing, yeah, maxed out my email server in 3 days (not to brag).

And people wonder why some of us switch to Apple. We've had Macs for 8 years now. 7 OS's later and at least 90% of it is exactly the same for what we use it for. It's too bad that gamers have to use Windows. And for those who say it's too expensive, you don't need to buy a brand new computer. There are some really great prices on Ebay and such.

M$ do wherever they want to the American ppl. ' cos all the chronies crocks politicians in Washington DC let them get away with it: since we all know they are on the side of the Corps. greed.
But when M$ reach EU they can't treat ppl. like garbage.

In 2 words:
F M$

You guys are crying over what Microsoft is doing and in the same breathe praising Apple. You must work for Apply or something. When is the last time Microsoft deleted applications or songs off your computer? When is the last time you tried to install something but couldn't because it wasn't approved by Apple. Get me a break. The update works more times than not and they fixed the issue that was forcing updates. Keep reaching though!

I'm happy with 7 and have no intention of "upgrading" but a friend was having probs with 10 on his laptop and wanted to try using the 10 boot file and asked me to dl it for him. So I go to the site and immediately it asks if its for this machine and I say NO, then it asks where I want to save the file and I tell it to E (a 4 gb flash drive) and off we go. At end of day I remove the flash drive and close down my machine - everything normal!

Next day I boot up and immediately see something is different - long boot time and different screen - my machine is booting into f*****g 10!

Turns out Microswrewitup has created a new partition on my hd which is an exact copy of the flash drive. It has also changed the boot order in my bios so it loads from the new E drive first.

After loads of head scratching I finally connect the hd to my laptop and convert the new partition to fat 16 so 10 and 7 can't see it. I still can't change the boot order in the bios but at least 7 is loading again.

What kind of a dishonest company would engage in dishonest trickery like that? Only Microscrewitup!
