[QUOTE="Stopspying, post: 941198, member: 69368"] I get why there are 'we told you so' posts above and that MS make the OS, but the devices they are installed on do not all belong to MS. I've had more than enough big issues to deal with that were down to MS getting things wrong - mostly updates, on my machines and others that I have had to fix in the past. Because of this I am not a MS fanboy, I'm a user of their OS ultimately because I need to work with other devices that use a MS OS. I was an early tester for Win 10, I had it on a few machines, one was a small netbook that had Win 7 Ultimate on it, it was light and very portable and worked very well for what I needed it for, it was my favourite device to take out with me. A Win 10 update bricked the device, it obliterated everything on the machine, every partition was rendered useless and no backup solution I had could restore Win 7U, MS denied any responsibility. I had it set so as I should not have had auto updates, I left the machine working on something for 20 mins or so, I returned to it to find it bricked by an update that should not have started without my permission. This is why I am not a fan, just a user of their OS and software. MS decided to override my settings back then, it is still doing the same today with moves like this. [/QUOTE]
