Win 10: Is it a Microsoft con job ?

Johnny J

I also like it, so now we're a majority! ;)

Fine. Your funeral choice! ;) The difference is that you haven't made two inflammatory posts demanding that the rest of us pour excoriation down upon MS for a 'con'!

I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

That majority is getting bigger. Me too.

Add my vote to the rest, plus the votes of two family members.

Agreed this is getting silly. The only personal machine I have that's not running 10 yet, is a laptop old enough it came with Vista. :rolleyes: It's not upgraded mostly because it's not free; assuming it's still alive a year from now (or is needed sooner as an emergencyish loaner for a family member) I'll figure out where my folder with the W7 keys is to give it an upgrade; until then it can just sit since I don't use it for anything.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

I gave up caring about my operating system. I spend most of my day in Visual Studio and a web browser. As long as those work, the supporting platform is not much of an issue.

How do you know he hasn't??? :confused: ;)

Why are you so rigorously defending Win 10? He's entitled to his opinion, and there's more than a few folks here that think Win 10 is a steaming pile of defecation.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Goody goody - Just wait a minute, hold the fight until I have fetched the popcorn! :laugh:

There's not going to be a fight. I don't really give 2 shits, and I won't respond any more on this.

You mean I don't get any popcorn? :sigh:

I am neither defending nor attacking it. I installed it without a problem of any kind in September and I've had not a single problem since. That's a simple fact. What I won't put up with is this absurd, hyperbolic, unfounded nonsense about it being a 'con', especially in the form of a repost when the first didn't go as well as the poster hoped!

I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Richard Deeming

You've been here eight months, and your only contribution to the site is two Lounge threads in two days proclaiming that W10 is a "con job". Keep it up. We enjoy voting trolls off the site. :suss:

I was just thinking that it might be a case where 11720681 equals 23741??? As for shows with amnesia, I would much rather go in the opposite direction and watch the extremely wonderful Poppy Montgomery[^] :rolleyes:

Not having turned on the computer since you installed Win 10 doesn't count.

My next stop, after Win7, is Linux. I'll not make a rant - although it's oh-so-tempting - but put it down to one of the greatest affronts: you cannot turn off updates, and if your a home user, you cannot even stop them. When MicroScurge will buy me the computer then they can behave like they own it. Until then, I know a nice place I'd shove a splintery broomstick. Which I would then proceed to twist: slowly to the right, then slowly to the left, then back to the right . . .
