This whole w10 deal proves that they do not wnt users to have an o/s they like using.
Many had xp that was working fine. No good for msquish b/c they cant make money off it if you stick with it.
Any os you like and works for you people wont change voluntarily. Msquish forced updates behind users backs. More and more aggressively as months went on.
I will never pay them a cent again.
Yeah, it’s too bad MS didn’t come up with an affordable, newer, lighter OS option similar to XP and W7 for those who didn’t want the new bloated clunky OS they offer now or didn’t have latest greatest hardware to run their bloatware.
I think that would have been a big hit for them. Now, Linux OS’s is filling some of that void and they are free. For basic computing and web browsing, Linux does a great job for me. I have far fewer hassles maintaining this OS than I did with Windows OS’s. I was a big XP fan as well and really don’t mind Windows 7.
As far as the arrogance for Microsoft, I believe it is only going to get worse. If I read some recent news correctly, Intel’s newer processors are only going to be able to run the latest Microsoft operating systems so users will have no choice. I doubt I give MS any more $$$ as well.
