[Still Thinking]

Right from the get-go Microsoft has made it clear that it is looking for a very fast rollout of Windows 10. The new operating system was offered as a free upgrade for some users – a first for Microsoft – and ever since the launch, Microsoft has been hustling people to upgrade, by fair means or foul.

I don't care what Microsoft wants or doesn't want. My computer hardware is my personal property, bought and paid for, and the license I agreed to with their previous OS doesn't give them the moral, ethical, or legal right to change ANY software on my property. If they do this, I hope someone sues them till they die.

In reality, it should be a criminal (hacking) matter, not a civil matter. If you or I broke into someone's computer and deleted software, we'd end up in the hoosegow, and rightly so. They shouldn't get away with it just because they're a software manufacturer. Would you or I get awsy with doing that by saying "Oopsie, we set the default to 'Fuck me'. Our bad, sorry (but you still don't get your old OS back. Have a nice day!"?

That was my thought as well. Screw these arrogant SOBs.
