'Windows 10 destroyed our data!' Microsoft hauled into US court

Re: Probably do have permission...

Actually MICROSFT does not have to have permission. You do not own the software. You pay for a License agreement to use the software. This implys that you understand that microsoft can change, upgrade or deny usage. This is in your agreement if read.

What is happening is that Microsoft is running a compatibility checker before the install. If the hardware is not compatable it will kick out the install.

Re: Damage to hardware?

J.R. no it does not.

Re: New computer?

Joe thats not true. You can always get a MAC or use a LINUX operating system. UBUNTU is a free distribution. I also dont see why you repalced your computer becasue of a software malfuntion. Did you not have your original operating system and disc? There is something missing that your are not telling us.

Hello All,

Some if not most of you need a reality check. I read one post that said that Microsoft tried to update there PC when it was completely off. Shows you how stupid some of you are. " First things first" you as the user DO NOT own the software. You pay for a LICENSE to use the software. What this implys is if you read your licenseing agreement Microsoft has the right to update change or deny the right to use the software. Just because you think you own your computer does not mean you own the software that is running on it. And no Microsoft well not be found liable for something that you as the Consumer should understand and read first. Also why would you run any computer and not have a backup of your files. Or atleast a backup of your most important data. Its not Microsoft fault you lost your data because you did not back up your PC or understand and read your licensing. If you had a HD failure you would have lost the DATA aswell. Are you going to file a lawsuit against WD or Segate for your HD failure. Most of you complain about how bad Microsoft is then you keep using it and not save a BACKUP. Seems a few screws short in my book. Looks like most of you are trying to blame MICROSOFT for you not beeing educated enough to be using a PC.
