There will always be someone out to complain. Microsoft Windows 10 is an excellent version and free upgrades is a great long-range marketing strategy. My 6+ desktops and laptops made the transition without a hitch.

"Free upgrade" is not the same as "You don't get to avoid the upgrade".

And like I commented earlier, it's not about whether Windows 10 is a good OS -- it's a fine OS.

This is about Microsoft taking away the option to not upgrade, and forcing it.

Fine, they can pay the huge fees to get my CAD software upgraded to run on win10. I’m quite happy with the versions that run on XP and win7

Just WHY and HOW is it "excellent" and better than 7 ?

I'm a creature of habit and HATE change; nor do I manage to do well with this kind of change. Just WHY do I need this new crap, when I don't play games, watch T.V. on my laptop, play music, or GOD only knows what this crap upgrade also does?

And?? I don't want someone breaking into my house, even if they're leaving diamonds. It's MY HOUSE, and they can stay the fsck out till I invite them.
