Microsoft Faces Two New Lawsuits Over Aggressive Windows 10 Upgrade Tactics
Microsoft is facing two more lawsuits over its Windows 10 upgrade tactics. The first lawsuit comes from U.S. District Court in Florida, where the company has been accused of violating "laws governing unsolicited electronic advertisements" The suit, PCWorld reports, says Microsoft's tactics are against the FTC's rules on deceptive and unfair practices. The second lawsuit was filed last month in Haifa, Israel alleging that Microsoft installed Windows 10 on users' computer without their consent. It's similar to another recent lawsuit that was filed against Microsoft in which the Redmond company had to pay a sum of $10,000. The company, however, believes that these new lawsuits won't succeed. In a statement to The Seattle Times, the company said:We believe the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and we are confident we'll be successful in court.
From Microsoft Imperial HQ:
If you rule in our favor... it goes from 99% to finished.
If you do not... that remaining 1% may take a looooooong time!
Baghdad Bob + Microsoft Bob:
"It looks like you're trying to sue us. The lawsuit has no merit. But, you want help bribing a judge for us, in case. Yes, you do. Trust me; it's in your family's best interest..."

Having them support it in perpetuity would be unfair.
What would be fair is having them support Windows 7 until its copyright expires.
I wanted to type that, but my Microsoft Digital Assistant advised against it, even threatened to encrypt my files if I misspoke.
What I wanted to say was tha^^^ NO CARRIER
