Microsoft pays woman $10,000 for auto upgrading her PC to Windows 10.

A lady went to court after Microsoft auto upgraded her PC to 10.

Microsoft dropped its challenge to the case and paid her $10,000.

I'm gonna hang on to 7 just as long as I can.

Everything fter that is FUBAR IMO.

Wish they'd go back to XP.

That was great.

I'm sticking with 7, though it is definitely more stable and secure than XP. I'm thinking my next 'puter may be a Chromebook.

It's excellent spyware. That's why it's "free".

Window has tried to upgrade me to 10 twice. They sneak the file that launches the upgrade into the Windows Update. Then is launches all by itself.

X works for me but the upgrade botched on one machine. It lost my login data and I was a guest on my own machine. Luckily the rollback function worked and now all is well.

Having said that, XP is still my favorite in the Windows series.
