Last saturday I had to go south towards Austria and guess what? All four (!) lanes of the highway are clogged up with vehicles from Mordor (you know: Yellow license plates, blue field with 'NL').
It takes really a small army to fill upn a highway with four lanes. An army of guys who don't have a clue about driving, but try to drive in cool formations across all lanes. And what are you all doing here? Don't you have work to do? Don't you have any mountains of your own? Must you really wear those wood shoes while driving?And let's not talk about that overwelming smell of cheese...
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Our schools just had a week of vacation so everyone was out and returning on Sunday, that's why
Also, we really dislike the Germans, so our favorite pastime on a Sunday afternoon is to cross the border and bother some Germans orcs

So you finally agree that it was a good idea to avoid any 'free' upgrade to Win 10?

I posted about Linux and you want to make this about Microsoft? You need to get over them. They have a grip on you.

I am quite finished with them. I just wanted to show how quickly this kind of argument can backfire.

It was a simple cliche. If you want to take it as an absolute truth, go for it.
By the way, I upgraded 3 computers, 1 was a laptop, and not a single problem upgrading to the free win10. Therefore, look in the mirror and see the reason for your problems with win10.  Actually, to be serious for a moment, most of the problems upgrading have been because of drivers. Just saying.

Now that's true. I don't want them to snoop around on my hard drive and also don't want them to tell me what we are going to do with the computer at what time. And yes, they can also keep their 'crap store' and all the other little thingies.
Short: I don't want to be treated like a muggle, no stuff for muggles and no changes which make room for stuff for muggles. They want idiots for customers and that's what they are going to get in the long run.

No. They keep waving their hands and saying 'You are not the customer we are looking for!' and I simply agree.

And since you have had problems with their software, that makes you the non-idiot.
So very clear and rational.

Nope. I did not say anything like that. I said that I do not want to be treated like a muggle. If that automatically makes you one, then so be it.

Yes. It's not so smart to play along with 'take it or leave it'. They just will include more and more great ideas into that deal. There is really only one option: Leave it and let them think about what they might have done wrong.
It already worked with Weight, and that's exactly why they went a little overboard with the forced updates to Win 10. They obviously have not learned it yet.

It seems to me that Software is the only thing (or one of a few things maybe) where people think they own it and everything about it. For example, you take your pants exactly as they come. You just deal with how they are. Same thing with your car. You don't complain that the GPS sends data for feedback. You don't complain that the steering is not exactly as you want it, you just deal with it. You buy a banana at the store and if there is a small bruise, you don't take it back. You just deal with it. You "take it" with nearly everything in life. But software seems to get people near violent.
I just don't understand that kind of thinking.

No. That's utter BS. I leave products I don't like and will not pay one cent for something I don't want. If there are alternatives, fine. If not, then let's forget the whole thing, Just keep your junk.
If Mickeysoft (and obviously their fanbois) think that there are no alternatives and that they get away with everything they like, then it's high time to teach them otherwise.

And again you saddle up the horse from the wrong side. I indeed own all those things once I bought then and can use them as I see fit. Software is the only thing everyone wants to disown me of, even that which I write myself.
