It's frightening that a federal group paid with taxpayer dollars, that was instituted to protect the law, now seems to break it with impunity. I fear for our future as it doesn't look like anyone is protecting the people anymore.
Windows 10 was released almost ten months ago, not eight. Fortunately that leaves just under two and one half months, not four, until the anniversary update after which strong arm upgrade tactics should stop.
The stop-producing-people mentality may eventually lead to a let's-remove-a-few-billion-freeloaders series of wars. I trust neither governments or corporations to look out for the masses. The civil war in Syria may be typical of what other countries might do to reduce population and, at the same time, create a rebuilding economy. People need to work, not collect welfare.
It was a part of Windows Live, which contained a group of programs that were better than the ones built into Windows, that was upgraded to Windows Live 2011 and finally to Windows Essentials 2012, which you can still download and install today at http://windows.microsoft.com/e... . The 2012 version was pretty nice. Our shop used to install it on all the Windows 8 PC's that we sold. With webmail so popular we only load it when customers still on XP ask us to move Outlook Express over. Windows Live Mail imports the.wab contacts and the Identities email folders perfectly. Now, Microsoft had to go and break something else. They seem to be hell bent on moving casual consumers away from Windows. It really is odd behavior.
One thing that Snowden taught us is that government "secrets" can be exposed. They will be, in due time. The problem is that it will always be after the fact.
Surely the word lawsuit could have been used instead of sueballs. It's an unneeded, contrived word. Just my opinion. Otherwise, thanks for the information.
So, the news is that Microsoft intends to do what they said they would do one year ago. Microsoft keeping their word is indeed news. And the $119 price is only what they want you to pay. NewEgg puts the Home version on sale for $79 often. There is no compelling reason for users to upgrade from the far more bug free Windows 7 and 8.1 (ugly sure, but more bug free), to Windows 10.
You can install GWX Control Panel and set it to remove all Windows 10 items. Then turn on monitoring, in the program, so that when Microsoft tries to get around your wishes, you'll get a notification of it.
Web printing is a pain to set up. We have dozens of elderly customers (75+) that we could quickly move to ChromeOS/Android from Windows if only printing were plug and play. That's very important to many people. Otherwise, ChromeOS/Android is going nowhere on the desktop. It'll stay in elementary schools and not expand much farther.
Good comparison. I think people do need to work for an income, even if it's part time and doing the assembly jobs now being done in China. Not everyone can work in a fast food restaurant.
Prognostications that tell me what I'll like in the future are annoying. Now it's my turn. Canadians will like becoming one of the world's largest providers of agriculture. So, there.
I've always tried to do both since either one alone just wasn't what it took when you start out at the bottom of the middle class, not quite poor. Moving to the upper levels takes both smarts and hard work.
I have Windows 10 Pro on my laptop using a Microsoft Wireless Mouse 1000. Updates were installed Tuesday afternoon. I have updates set to install updates for other Microsoft product. I presume that their Wireless mouse 1000 is an "other" product. Device manager shows that my mouse driver is dated 2006. When checking for new drivers I get a message "the best driver for your device is already installed". Sure it is at ten years old. Assholes. Windows 10 is fucked up.
Laser projection virtual keyboards have been around for years. Apple is simply removing the cool projection part and then complicating the design. No thanks.

Microsoft, how come much of what you do these days makes life more miserable for computer users instead of making it easier?

Disable all notifications in Settings > System > Notifications and actions. Disabling all of the notifications removes all of the stupid nags.
Microsoft still claims that the upgrade to Windows 10 is never done without user consent. What a load of BS on their part.

The article quoted the spokes person as it being a "probably" weasel.
It's not racist at all. It's protectionist. Other countries do it. The US needs to protect it's citizens also.
Big words are hard, aren't they?
To a great extent, due to stupid laws that make no sense (like the pointless war on drugs), many people now view laws as suggestions only.

Someone's looking for funding. Stay away, as this technology is no where near being useful.

Suspend your accounts when traveling so you won't be billed for services that you can't use.

How very Nazi-ish of you.

You imply that forced updates are a good thing. Maybe OS X users will wake up one morning to find Windows 10 running on their Mac. Updated. Done.
