If users only knew what these newer versions of PC software were capable of.... they would still buy them.
I guess it’s like hot dogs. Everyone knows what goes into hot dogs now (videos on Youtube) but they still eat them.
an indian takes charge and the next thing you know, windows 10 ‘accidentally’ auto-installs on unsuspecting machines whose owners had set to auto-update.
two weeks later, microsoft announces the ‘unexpected surge’
Earlier today, I tried to install Win 10 over a Win 7 hard drive.
Got the ISO burned, etc. Started the install. Asked for serial number. Wouldn’t accept it, even though I copied it right off of the label on the Computer. Installation stalled. Said to reboot. Reboot started loading the old Win7. Rebooted again. Loaded install. Returned to the previous info screen for location, serial, etc. After 4 wasted hours, I am giving up.
I gave it a try. I don’t intend to waste any more time trying to install Win 10 over Win 7. As long as 7 continues, I am sticking with it.
Stock surges because Microsoft gave away 110 million copies of something they used to get money for? Why was it REALLY given away, anyway? Because it actually wasn’t good enough people would pay for it? Or was Microsoft intentionally trying to hurt the sales of their former hardware partners whom Microsoft is now competing with? And what is THAT going to do to W10 sales in the future? Microsoft is really just in a total shambles, and it’s only gonna get worse as they ignore their bread and butter enterprise and business customers, and focusing on a consumer market that shrinks on a daily basis for Microsoft.
