Jesse Worley threatened to sue Microsoft. He’s not the first to take on
the Redmond company, but his move to take legal action had a purpose. He
wanted Microsoft to acknowledge that aggressively pushing the Windows 10
update was a problem. Customers weary of the Windows 8 disaster were
unwilling to take the upgrade leap; Microsoft was, he reasoned, ignoring
their fear of heights.

Worley built a Windows 7 machine for his grandfather, who has
Alzheimer’s Disease, in 2013. Because of this, Worley customized the
machine to look like Windows XP, an operating system his grandfather
still remembered well. Since Windows 7 will still receive patches until
2020, he wanted to keep the machine on Windows 7 until he got around to
building a PC with Windows 10, using the fake Windows XP interface.


Windows 10 was a big push. which leads to the question why?
A failed Windows 8, and of course the ever increasing privacy invasion
by the leftist, globalist community in general.

Non systemd linux systems are the closest thing to escape from the
globalists. Even at the length it is difficult to stop they invasion of
privacy.

The case didn't help extend the life of Win 7, unless something drastic
happened.

systemd in Linux is indeed a bit redundant and convoluted, adding
complexities.
