Man, Seeking New Copy of Windows 7 After Forced Windows 10 Upgrade, Sues Microsoft (bleepingcomputer.com)
Catalin Cimpanu, writing for BleepingComputer: An Albuquerque man has sued Microsoft and its CEO -- Satya Nadella -- seeking a fresh copy of Windows 7 or $600 million in damages. According to a civil complaint filed last week on February 14, Frank K. Dickman Jr. of Albuquerque, New Mexico, is suing Microsoft because of a botched forced Windows 10 upgrade. "I own a ASUS 54L laptop computer which has an OEM license for Windows Version 7," Dickman's claim reads. "The computer was upgraded to Windows Version 10 and became non-functional immediately. The upgrade deleted the cached, or backup, version of Windows 7." Dickman says that the laptop's original OEM vendor is "untrustworthy," hence, he cannot obtain a legitimate copy of Windows 7 to downgrade his laptop.

this is the year of linux on the desktop.
fucking commie, who the fuck are you to value what I do and how I do it? if somebody will pay the asking price, then that's its value
you want to characterize the people I employ as being unwilling slaves and I do nothing but put my feet up and smoke cigars; those employees working as hard as me get to pay bills, raise a family, do what they want with the money I trade for their time and talents
it's a fair exchange and all participants are free to leave if they wish; they're free to choose something else that suits them, which is far more than they'd get from any system you'd propose
a business course or two would have helped you more than all the snowflake propaganda bullshit you've ingested
