Twas the week before Xmas ... not a creature was stirring – except Microsoft admitting its Windows 10 upgrade pop-up went 'too far'

Re: Apology or not, results are the same

Anyone relying on Microsoft security is eventually in for a nasty surprise.

To have a chance of being safe, you must run layers of aftermarket anti-everything protective software, and a real, serious firewall. And following this practice you can be safer on an XP machine than a Windows10 machine without additional protection

How the Mighty have Fallen

Waaaay back in 1998, Microsoft released the greatly anticipated Windows98 at gala midnight retail extravaganzas, where people actually stood in queue waiting for the doors to open.

Fast forward to 2016, and Microsoft has major problems GIVING away their flagship product, Windows10. It is so rejected by consumers that Microsoft has to trick you into upgrading (for free) like some spyware phishing scheme.
