- detaro 10y agoThey promised to provide support and got paid for it, so they should do their job, or clearly announce that they are unable to do so.
- dimino 10y agoTheir support is telling you to upgrade (for FREE) to Windows 10. They never said how they would offer you support. Edit: Also, I'm not entirely sure there are any support contracts for Windows by itself, I think you need to buy a contract from Microsoft for something like that.
- pritambaral 10y ago> They never said how they would offer you support Did they not say they'd offer "security fixes", and not "complete UI changes, deprecation of perfectly working runtimes, shoving of new runtimes". The former is support; the latter, is finalization of misleading marketing.
- dimino 10y agoThey did not do this, no.
- pritambaral 10y agoSo, you're saying, that when one installs Windows (not just 10, or 8, even 7) on their system, they give up full control of their system to Microsoft? To do as Microsoft pleases? In effect, you're agreeing with RMS. (I'm thankful I don't use Windows, precisely for this reason that Microsoft may do whatever they want with my hardware and my data, and without even playing fair to get my consent.)
- dimino 10y ago...or there's a rational middle ground that you're completely ignoring because this is the Internet and you're trying really hard to push my argument into a corner, where you can then disregard it and continue to be a selective extremist.
