    Friends don't let friends think Microsoft just like any left wing candidate is the only choice.

    I am one of those "wait and see" people. I decided to hold off and learn from other's experience...glad I did. Everyone I talked with had major problems. So eventually I found the method on the internet to stop the "you must upgrade or die" messages. I'm happy with W7.

    I have had so many problems with windows that I am switching all of my machines to LINUX Ubuntu. MicroSoft keeps sending cajoling messages urging me to "upgrade for free" to Windows 10. I tried that and over half of my critical analysis software would not work. So I switched back to Win 7 and that triggered a daily window urging me to go back to Win 10. Enough already! Ubuntu never gives me such grief.

    I just say No, check No and keep putting it off. One day they will as always do it anyway. In the meantime I don't use Windows Browser nor their office products. Eventually they will start harassing us again. But I hope not until they get an XP7 which is doubtful. The neat thing is redoing another W7 into a Linux. Limiting the use of any MS software seems to help a lot.

    Nothing new thee the Bill Gates business model of get it on the market we'll fix it later is still hard charging at a goal of not much to nutting.

    No one with any brains buys any MS Software until it's been out at least three years.

    upgraded from one year ....

    Well, if you have something less than 10, you can usually look at the individual updates and see if they address a critical issue, or resolve a flaw that may allow outsiders to execute code or some such. Those are the ones you really want, It got so bad, three of the latest updates install all the "call home" stuff that 10 has that no one wants, and they snuck those in. I think I posted the list in here some-where's...

    Granted but I am not knowledgeable enough to know the difference. So far I've avoided 10 but eventually I'll have to change operating systems.
    Some day I hope to afford an apple computer...seems to be the way to go.

    Some are needed to close the various doors the bad guys walk in when MS leaves them open, so there is some need for them. Even good security programs are defeated when they use those.

    Well...yes... I know, but really they should be able to have a database of various software configs to test against, they seem to steal everything else in the way of info...

    Microsoft's testing and QA has always been crap, not just for the last ten years. If someone else fixes their mistakes, it necessitates an "update" for their "bug". When no can fix their mistake, it is called a "feature".

    I don't know about their hiring practices, but their testing and QA has been crap for the last 10 years. One would think they would learn to improve that which pisses people off the most (like a non functional "patched" machine). Add to that "automatic forced updates, and you get to screw 50% of your customers in one day...proof of my theory that the more managers you have, the worse your company gets.
