The legal department might have wanted to appeal, Don, but the ad department might have nixed it since it would have given MS even more bad publicity. There has supposedly been a lot of concern about programs in Win10 that can collect all sorts of personal and business data, and that has hurt

Curt, Thanks for the pirep. My brother (who is an IT pro) says the same thing. I'm just an old fart and every time I upgrade an MS product there is a learning curve and I never develop the same proficiency with the newer product. So, my question is: does WIN 10 actually have any additional

If you want to get rid of the Win10 upgrade popup, look at your past, loaded updates. One of them is not an update, but rather the popup which will launch the update if you click on it. I don't remember the number, but you can "uninstall" that update and it goes away. If you want to load Win10,

Yes, it's easier to win in small claims court which is why she went there. Yes, I had problems with one of my Dell Vostros, but it was not MS's fault. My PC needed a BIOS upgrade. This story is really full of shallow BS that only a small claims court would allow. Her computer was unusable,

I can't believe people would enable Automatic Updates on a business computer. I'm typing this in Windows 7 Home Premium, on a computer that never had updates that I didn't select myself. Furthermore, what did buying a new computer solve that factory restore couldn't fix?Mitch.
