This is an out and out falsehood and anyone who believes this is misguided.
You can have your opinions but you can't shape reality just to fit what you believe.
When you post stuff like this it makes me wonder if there is a sane person behind the keyboard. It is the equivalent of the lies spread by Trump. Maybe not with the same maliciousness but a falsehood nonetheless.

Take it from me. Microsoft has taken the Mac approached and this upgrade is like the OS X upgrades from Apple. Free and the changes are moderate. The only thing is that Explorer has been changed to the Edge but not many people use MS Explorer for a browser anyway (and you are given the option to open your browser in MS Explorer... which is sort of weird granted).

The changes in Win10 are radical, Cortana being the thin end of the wedge.

Nope.
I run Mint, OS X, and Windows. You might as well upgrade. You will have to eventually.
At my IT sessions some people think 8 was great but that the mistake was changing the start button and having the tiles overlay the desktop. Windows 10 fixes that. I like how it looks and boots up.

We all believe what we want to believe in and if you want to question my sanity, that's OK too. The real problem between us is that I don't prescribe to your devotion to Hillary and that is getting under your skin. I could just as well flip the question but I already know that you don't have answer.

You can dislike Hillary all you want. But to go around saying she was not democratically nominated is a falsehood. Period.

Four million more votes and 389 pledged delegates. For a college edumacated guy, you seem to have a problem with the maths.

If I defined Democracy as you have, my edumacated friends may ask me to go back to school and they may not want me back. You have already stated several times that Hillary is the nominee of the 'Democratic Party' and I have accepted that.
I (among others here and elsewhere) have questioned as to how democratic the 'Democratic Party' is and the only response I got from you is a proverbial FU. And that's OK too.
But you and others here still have the same Hillary problem which is not going away. I have become a spectator which is quite interesting when you don't have a horse in the race.

It's true. Every delegate Trump got towards his nomination had to be earned by the votes of his supporters. He didn't get 400+ freebies up front like Clinton did.
