Re: A final throw of the dice before
It's not that cut and dried. IANAL, as you can tell the highly technical legal terms I use
The Windows 10 "upgrade" has to have:
- fucked up your machine and/or prevented you from using software that you relied on
- required rebuilding or replacing rather than a rollback
- have a demonstrable cost in both time and lost business
So get yer ducks in a line first, you'll need to document all the above, and have given some MS drones at least a couple of chances to fix it.
Although I do agree, small claims court is superb for dealing with large companies fucking you around. Since they can't send an actual lawyer to fight you, but Legal should have an eyeball of the case first, they will almost always come to the conclusion that paying what is owed, plus a lump sum that's under 6 figures is almost always worth it.
Oh, and if they lose, and still fuck around about paying you, you can start the bankruptcy filing for them. Which affects their credit rating (even for a 25k debt for a comapny making ~2mil annual profit on ~50mil turnover), and causes Legal and Manglement to start screaming at people until you get cut a cheque from petty cash or some slush budget, since there isn't a "we never planned on paying this contract" budget.
